⭐ In a new publication @nature.com, postdoctoral researcher Melissa Cooper has shown that astrocytes share a network of communication that selectively connects multiple brain regions across hemispheres. @melcooperphd.bsky.social
Astrocytes do so much more than any of us thought - they even communicate among specific brain regions across hemispheres!
The journey to this paper spanned nearly a decade, but I'm most excited to see what everyone else does with the tools we've built. There's so much for all of us to explore!

Communication between distant brain regions is mediated by plastic networks of gap junction-coupled astrocytes.
