I am thrilled to see my postdoctoral work finally published in @NatureNeuro ! (free access here: rdcu.be/dpQhG). We used in vivo ephys and a new behavioral paradigm to elucidate what the PFC represents when mice face danger. These are the main findings of our work: 🧵

“La primera reacción ante un descubrimiento rompedor es la de mofarse”. Alfonso Araque descubrió en 1998 que los astrocitos regulan las sinapsis. Nadie le creyó. Entrevista de M. Galan, alumna máster #Neurociencia @UAM_Madrid @LabAraque @SENC_ @abc_blogs abcblogs.abc.es/ventana-cere…

It will be a pleasure to talk about how astrocytes regulate synaptic physiology and the consequences in neural network and behavior. See you all there! @UMNeurosci @biocytogen @MayoClinic

I wanted to share a recent astrocyte review written by a rising star (pun intended) in the lab @jpanicc13. doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2022.… Here she reviews some recent advances in astrocyte viral vectors and glial and neuronal genetic indicator in vivo imaging and analysis techniques.

Diet triggers specific responses of hypothalamic astrocytes in time and region dependent manner

Hypothalamic astrocytes are predominantly altered in diet-induced obese mice. Hypercaloric diet rapidly rearranges the molecular state of ARC astrocytes, inducing the expression of GFAP and Aldh1L1...
