A closer look at astrocyte morphology: Development, heterogeneity, and plasticity at astrocyte leaflets

TL;DR: Astrocytes represent an abundant type of glial cells involved in nearly every aspect of central nervous system (CNS) function, including synapse formation and maturation, ion and neurotransmitter homeostasis, blood-brain barrier maintenance, as well as neuronal metabolic support as discussed by the authors .

Organizing Principles of Astrocytic Nanoarchitecture in the Mouse Cerebral Cortex

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution datasets of layer 2/3 mouse somatosensory cortex using focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (8nm intervals) and computer vision approaches were used to provide a principled, quantitative analysis of astrocytic nanoarchitecture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic Stress Impairs the Structure and Function of Astrocyte Networks in an Animal Model of Depression

TL;DR: Findings reveal that chronic stress leads toAstrocyte atrophy and impaired gap junction coupling, raising the prospect that both individual and network-level astrocytes functionality are important in the etiology of major depression and other neuropsychiatric disorders.

Ketogenic diet uncovers differential metabolic plasticity of brain cells

TL;DR: A proteome atlas of the major central nervous system cell types from young and adult mice is generated, after feeding the therapeutically relevant low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diet and during neuroinflammation to highlight the importance of metabolic cross-talk between CNS cells and between the periphery and the brain to manage altered nutrition and neurological disease.

Structural Heterogeneity of the GABAergic Tripartite Synapse

TL;DR: Super-resolution expansion microscopy is established of GABAergic synapses and nearby astrocytic processes and their structural arrangements in the stratum radiatum of the mouse hippocampal CA1 region to speculate that this specific arrangement enables more efficient re-uptake of GABA into presynaptic terminals.

An Energy Budget for Signaling in the Grey Matter of the Brain

TL;DR: The estimates of energy usage predict the use of distributed codes, with ≤15% of neurons simultaneously active, to reduce energy consumption and allow greater computing power from a fixed number of neurons.

Tripartite synapses : Glia, the unacknowledged partner

TL;DR: It is suggested that perisynaptic Schwann cells and synaptically associated astrocytes should be viewed as integral modulatory elements of tripartite synapses.

Brain energy metabolism: focus on astrocyte-neuron metabolic cooperation

TL;DR: This review focuses on the cellular aspects of brain energy metabolism, with a particular emphasis on the metabolic interactions between neurons and astrocytes.

Serial block−face scanning electron microscopy to reconstruct three−dimensional tissue nanostructure

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that datasets meeting these requirements can be obtained by automated block-face imaging combined with serial sectioning inside the chamber of a scanning electron microscope, opening the possibility of automatically obtaining the electron-microscope-level 3D datasets needed to completely reconstruct the connectivity of neuronal circuits.
