This project focuses on understanding the role of astrocytes in the brain, particularly their influence on synapse structure and function. Using advanced imaging and genetic techniques, it aims to reveal how astrocytes contribute to neuronal plasticity in living organisms.
The appropriate functioning of the brain requires co-operation between its cellular constituents – neurons and glial cells.
While neurons have been widely studied thanks to their electrical excitability, the glial component has been neglected for years.
However, recent research has brought surprising results indicating that astrocytes (a type of glia) can actively regulate the structural and physiological properties of synapses.
Unfortunately, most of the data regarding astrocyte function origin…
