This project explores the role of astrocytes in synaptic communication in the brain. It aims to determine whether individual astrocytes can release multiple signaling molecules, which could enhance our understanding of how information is processed in neural circuits.
In the brain, information is transmitted from one neuron to a second one at the level of a specialized structure, the synapse.
During a long time, the transmission of information in the brain was only a neuronal story.
Indeed, it was considered that the synapse was made of only two neuronal components: a presynaptic terminal that releases neurotransmitters and a postsynaptic element that receives and integrates information.
However, since the last two decades, a third protagonist, the astrocyte,…
