Astrocytes and microglia are central players in a myriad of processes in the healthy and
diseased brain, ranging from metabolism to immunity. The crosstalk between these two cell …

To ensure long-term consistent neural recordings, next-generation intracortical
microelectrodes are being developed with an increased emphasis on reducing the neuro …

Accumulating evidence indicates that astrocytes are actively involved in brain function by
regulating synaptic activity and plasticity. Different gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, ATP …

Astrocytes play important roles in neurological disorders such as stroke, injury, and
neurodegeneration. Most knowledge on astrocyte biology is based on studies of mouse …

Astrocytes have long been regarded as essentially unexcitable cells that do not contribute to
active signaling and information processing in the brain. Contrary to this classical view, it is …

An essential aspect of normal brain function is the bidirectional interaction and
communication between neurons and neighbouring glial cells. To this end, the brain has …

Neurons have long held the spotlight as the central players of the nervous system, but we
must remember that we have equal numbers of astrocytes and neurons in the brain. Are …

Recent research has changed the perception of glia from being no more than silent
supportive cells of neurons to being dynamic partners participating in brain metabolism and …

Research on glial cells over the past 30 years has confirmed the critical role of astrocytes in
pathophysiological brain states. However, most of our knowledge about astrocyte …

With the contribution from more than one hundred CNS neurotrauma experts, this book
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account on the latest developments in the area of …
