The role of estradiol in astrocyte and neuron communication
… their active role in neural communication. The “tripartite synapse” depicts the bidirectional communication between the presynaptic, postsynaptic neuron and the neighboring astrocyte. An important characteristic of this astrocyte-neuron communication is the astrocyte responsiveness to …

BDNF and Astrocyte TrkB.T1 Signaling as a Mechanism Underlying Astrocyte Synapse Interactions in Motor and Barrel Cortex
Synapses are the fundamental units of communication in the brain, and their proper development and function are critical for cognitive processes and behavior. While the development of glutamatergic synapses has been extensively studied, the mechanisms underlying the formation of the tripartite …

Astrocytic Contribution to the Glutamatergic Transmission in Schizophrenia
… brain tissue to zoom in on the glutamatergic synapse, viewed as a “tripartite synapse”. Apart from the pre- and postsynaptic neurons, the third component is represented by the astrocyte, the brain glial cell that is responsible for most of the glutamate recycling and that attunes the …

Development and application of correlative STED and AFM to investigate neuronal cells
… there has been a shift towards the view of the ``tripartite synapse'', where, astrocytes -- as well as the pre-synapse and post-synapse -- are involved in synaptic signalling. The migration of astrocytes to form branched networks in the brain is, therefore, of great interest in understanding brain …

Purinergic Signalling and Potassium Homeostasis Regulate Somatosensory Adaptation
… of astrocytes. Astrocytes are part of the tripartite synapse and were originally thought to be passive elements in the brain, however it is now known that they have receptors that bind neurotransmitters released into the synapse, and in turn, can cause the release of gliotransmitters from …
