  1. Newly mapped #brain networks link far-flung regions
    #Astrocyte networks in #mice link distant brain regions in ways nerve cell wiring does not.
    This system, made of star-shaped cells called #astrocytes, is no relic, a new study reports. It’s operational, linking locales near and far in flexible, mysterious ways.
    What’s more, astrocyte networks may also have roles in disorders such as #Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injuries and stroke.

  6. To capture this local heterogeneity, the authors developed a #multiphoton #FLIM approach with the Na⁺ indicator ING-2 and #astrocyte labeling, enabling quantitative Na⁺ measurements in individual #astrocytes and their processes. This is important because astrocytic Na⁺ is not just a bulk somatic variable. It varies locally across branches and subdomains, where K⁺ uptake and #glutamate-linked Na⁺ influx are regulated.

  11. 🧠🎨 New paper by Meyer et al: #astrocytic #sodium #homeostasis is not uniform. Using multiphoton #FLIM in #mouse #brain slices and #invivo, they show strong #cellular and #subcellular heterogeneity in astrocytic Na⁺ levels.

    Processes contain more Na⁺ than somata, Na⁺ varies between #astrocyte branches, and distinct Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase subunit patterns help tune local K⁺ uptake and #glutamate-linked Na⁺ influx.
