UK Glia 2026 meeting will highlight the pivotal role of glia in brain physiology, offering invaluable insights for those investigating glia function in both health and disease. Find out more about the...
Astrocytes transform the transcriptomic and epigenetic landscape of developing cortical neurons to promote activity via intrinsic excitability control https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.17.725732v1
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.
Ghenissa et al. provide evidence that basolateral amygdala astrocytes reliably encode
anxiety states. Using simultaneous in vivo calcium recordings across an array of behavioral
tasks, combined with g...
