Astrocytic neuroligins control astrocyte morphogenesis and synaptogenesis [PDF]
Nature, 2017 Astrocytes are complex glial cells with numerous fine cellular processes that infiltrate the neuropil and interact with synapses. The mechanisms that control the establishment of astrocyte morphology are unknown, and it is unclear whether impairing astrocytic infiltration of the neuropil alters synaptic connectivity.

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022 The cellular, molecular and physiological basis of cognition has proved elusive until emerging studies on astrocytes. The appearance of a deliberate aggregating element in cellular neurophysiology was difficult to satisfy computationally with excitatory and inhibitory neuron physiology alone.

Ambient but not local lactate underlies neuronal tolerance to prolonged glucose deprivation [PDF]
, 2018 Neurons require a nearly constant supply of ATP. Glucose is the predominant source of brain ATP, but the direct effects of prolonged glucose deprivation on neuronal viability and function remain unclear.
