This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to knockout Gat3 in mouse visual cortex astrocytes, revealing its role in shaping neuronal activity and sensory information encoding.

The paper shows that cortical astrocytes mediate learned behavior by extending norepinephrine signals through calcium dynamics and ATP release, influencing neuronal encoding of task variables.

This study analyzes LC neuron firing patterns across species and biological factors, revealing diverse activity patterns and subregions enriched for specific factors and disease models.
