Complementary encoding of spatial information in hippocampal astrocytes

Sebastiano Curreli et al.

Summary: Calcium signals in astrocytes can encode spatial information, and they work complementarily and synergistically with neuronal signals to enhance spatial position decoding accuracy. This indicates that localized astrocytic calcium signals may regulate nearby synapse clusters and enable dynamic, context-dependent variations in population coding within brain circuits.

Behaviorally consequential astrocytic regulation of neural circuits

Jun Nagai et al.

Summary: Astrocytes play crucial roles in the nervous system, regulating neural circuits to affect various behavioral outcomes. Recent studies have uncovered diverse mechanisms of astrocytes and their association with certain human diseases. Including astrocytes in neural circuit research offers new perspectives for understanding behavior, its regulation, and manifestations related to diseases.
