Journal ArticleDOI

Astroglial networks: a step further in neuroglial and gliovascular interactions

TL;DR: Dynamic aspects of interactions between astrocytes, neurons and the vasculature have recently been in the neuroscience spotlight and this intercellular communication between glia has implications for neuroglial and gliovascular interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The narrow escape problem for diffusion in cellular microdomains

TL;DR: Asymptotic formulas for the mean escape time are presented for a model of a Brownian particle confined to a bounded domain by a reflecting boundary by a small window through which it can escape, and several applications in cellular biology are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astroglial networks scale synaptic activity and plasticity.

TL;DR: It is shown that astroglial networks tone down hippocampal synaptic transmission in CA1 pyramidal neurons, establishing connexins as critical proteins for extracellular homeostasis, important for the formation of functional synapses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The emergence of Up and Down states in cortical networks.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the existence of Up–Down states is a fundamental and inherent property of a noisy neural ensemble with sufficiently strong synaptic connections.
