Striatal cholinergic and dopaminergic driven astrocyte Ca2+ activity is disrupted in Parkinsonian mice

Wesley R. Evans, Hunter G. Wells, Cynthia Jacob, Angelica Vellore, Rafiq Huda

The paper shows that striatal ACh and DA drive astrocyte Ca2+ activity, which is disrupted in Parkinsonian mice, suggesting astrocytes as a therapeutic target.
