The brain has almost no energy reserve, but its activity coordinates organismal function, a
burden that requires precise coupling between neurotransmission and energy metabolism …

Lactate in the brain has long been associated with ischaemia; however, more recent
evidence shows that it can be found there under physiological conditions. In the brain …

Background The COVID-19 pandemic priorities have focused on prevention, detection, and
response. Beyond morbidity and mortality, pandemics carry secondary impacts, such as …

Glucose is the long-established, obligatory fuel for brain that fulfills many critical functions,
including ATP production, oxidative stress management, and synthesis of neurotransmitters …

Astrocytes serve important roles that affect recruitment and function of neurons at the local
and network levels. Here we review the contributions of astrocyte signaling to synaptic …

Time-calibrated phylogenies of extant species (referred to here as 'extant timetrees') are
widely used for estimating diversification dynamics. However, there has been considerable …

Astrocytes play key roles in the regulation of brain energy metabolism, which has a major
impact on brain functions, including memory, neuroprotection, resistance to oxidative stress …

Astrocytes respond to neuronal activity and were shown to be necessary for plasticity and
memory. To test whether astrocytic activity is also sufficient to generate synaptic potentiation …

Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

Remote memories depend on coordinated activity in the hippocampus and frontal cortices,
but the timeline of these interactions is debated. Astrocytes sense and modify neuronal …
