New Tools to Study Astrocyte Ca2+ Signal Dynamics in Brain Networks In Vivo

Sensory information processing is a fundamental operation in the brain that is based on dynamic interactions between different neuronal populations. Astrocytes, a type of glial cells, have been proposed to represent active elements of brain microcircuits that, through dynamic interactions with neuro...
