This study examines how prenatal opioid exposure affects astrocyte morphology and synaptogenic signaling in cortical cultures, revealing altered synaptic development and stress responses in neurons.

This study examines the effects of prenatal drug exposure on synaptogenesis in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway in mice, finding increased excitatory and decreased inhibitory synapses in specific brain regions.

This study shows that astrocyte-derived thrombospondin induces synaptogenesis in male but not female cortical neurons, mediated by estrogen signaling.
