Careful clustering of these molecules ensures that the glial cell can conduct a distinct “conversation” with each neuron. Through these molecular interlocutors, glia can “coach” neurons, influencing ...

The key is managing and channeling aggression. In a recent study using mice, researchers at Tohoku University have demonstrated that neuron–glial interactions in the cerebellum set the tone of ...

Focusing back on the AMsh-AFD interaction, the team asked a follow-up question: KCC-3 appeared to mediate this glia-neuron interaction by localizing specifically to their interface, but how was this ...

Tohoku University scientists have shown that neuronal and glial circuits form a loosely coupled super-network within the brain. Activation of the metabotropic glutamate receptors in neurons was shown ...

It is generally believed that different forms of working memory rely on a variety of circuits; however, this study shows that the same neuron-glial circuits could encode for various forms of working ...

The studies showed that these impulses—action potentials (APs)—originate from tumor cells that are part neuron and part glia, supporting the concept that neurons are not the only cells that ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do ... supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications ...

Here, we find that injury triggers a coordinated response in neuro-glial clusters that promotes the spread of a neuron-derived stem cell factor via glial secretion of the lipocalin-like ...

Interestingly, the impulses, also called action potentials, originate from tumor cells that are part neuron and part glia, supporting the groundbreaking idea that neurons are not the only cells ...

Careful clustering of these molecules ensures that the glial cell can conduct a distinct 'conversation' with each neuron. Through these molecular facilitators, glia can influence how neurons ...
