Big news!! Our paper about astrocyte NMDA receptors is out in Nature Communications! rdcu.be/dzcE9
This team effort was spearheaded by @NoushinAhmadpo1 @MeherKantroo
Thanks to the Reviewers for suggesting "mechanism" experiments that took this story to the next level!
9 Jan 2023
Did you know that astrocytes express NMDA receptors? In our latest work, we show how these receptors regulate astrocyte calcium events and optimize neuronal activity for sensory discrimination.
