Recent findings from University of British Columbia highlight research in neuroscience

"Elevation of intracellular Ca2+ in astrocytes can influence cerebral microcirculation and modulate synaptic transmission. Recently, in vivo imaging studies identified delayed, sensory-driven Ca2+ oscillations in cortical astrocytes; however, the long latencies of these Ca2+ signals raises questions in regards to their suitability for a role in short-latency modulation of cerebral microcirculation or rapid astrocyte-to-neuron communication," scientists writing in the Journal of Neuroscience report.
"Here, using in vivo two-photon Ca2+ imaging, we demonstrate that similar to 5% of sulforhodamine 101-labeled astrocytes in the hindlimb area of the mouse primary...
