This study uses sparse eGFP labeling to compare astrocyte morphology across brain regions and sexes in mice, finding sex-dependent and region-specific changes after early-life stress.

The paper shows that astrocytes in the basolateral amygdala encode threat-induced anxiety across tasks, contrasting with neurons that encode broader behavioral states.

This study shows early-life stress causes astrocyte dysfunction in mice, leading to anxiety and fear generalization through impaired synaptic plasticity and neural excitability.
