Essential role of astrocytes in rapid activity-dependent restructuration of the axon initial segment

The paper shows that astrocytes rapidly reorganize the axon initial segment through S100β release in response to neuronal activity.

Integration of sensory and cortical information in the brainstem during mastication in mice

This study maps brainstem activation patterns in mice during mastication, showing distinct cortical and sensory inputs engage different regions with partial overlap in the parvocellular reticular formation.

The gliotransmitter S100β regulates synaptic plasticity in the visual cortex

This study investigates the role of S100β as a gliotransmitter in regulating synaptic plasticity, specifically long-term potentiation, at layer 2/3-layer 5 synapses in the visual cortex.

Astrocyte-induced firing in primary afferent axons

The paper investigates how astrocytes modulate primary afferent axon excitability through Ca2+-binding proteins, leading to ectopic firing in a muscle pain model.

Astrocytic modulation of information processing by layer 5 pyramidal neurons of the mouse visual cortex

This study shows astrocytes modulate layer 5 pyramidal neuron firing in the mouse visual cortex through S100β-mediated changes in extracellular calcium and Nav1.6 channel activation.
