Astrocyte-Enabled Advancements in Spiking Neural Networks for Large Language Modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Within the complex neuroarchitecture of the brain, astrocytes play crucial roles in development, structure, and metabolism. These cells regulate neural activity through tripartite synapses, directly impacting cognitive processes such as learning and memory. Despite the growing recognition of astrocytes' significance, traditional Spiking Neural Network (

Graphene oxide upregulates the homeostatic functions of primary astrocytes and modulates astrocyte-to-neuron communication [PDF]
Nano Lett. 2018, 18, 9, 5827-5838, 2018 Graphene-based materials are the focus of intense research efforts to devise novel theranostic strategies for targeting the central nervous system. In this work, we have investigated the consequences of long-term exposure of primary rat astrocytes to pristine graphene (GR) and graphene oxide (GO) flakes.

Trends in Cell BiologyAstrocytes are predominant glial cells that tile the central nervous system (CNS). A cardinal feature of astrocytes is their complex and visually enchanting morphology, referred to as bushy, spongy, and star-like. A central precept of this review is that such complex morphological shapes evolved to allow astrocytes to contact and signal with diverse ...

Introducing Astrocytes on a Neuromorphic Processor: Synchronization, Local Plasticity and Edge of Chaos [PDF]
ACM Proceeding NICE '19 Proceedings of the 7th Annual
Neuro-inspired Computational Elements Workshop, 2019, 2019 While there is still a lot to learn about astrocytes and their neuromodulatory role in the spatial and temporal integration of neuronal activity, their introduction to neuromorphic hardware is timely, facilitating their computational exploration in basic science questions as well as their exploitation in real-world applications.

Mitochondrial dynamics in astrocytes [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2014 Astrocytes exhibit cellular excitability through variations in their intracellular calcium (Ca2+) levels in response to synaptic activity. Astrocyte Ca2+ elevations can trigger the release of neuroactive substances that can modulate synaptic transmission and plasticity, hence promoting bidirectional communication with neurons.
