Lots of us assumed that synaptic transmission decreases after energy shortage due to direct neuronal failure. But... Is that the case?
Spoiler: no! It's astrocytes guiding them! ⭐

PAPER ALERT!📣📣

It’s not just neuron starvation.
Astrocytes sense, respond, and regulate synapses.
GLUT1 in astrocytes is a key player in protecting the brain from metabolic stress.
