Adamsky et al. show that stimulation of astrocytes potentiates synaptic transmission and enhances behavioral performance in memory tasks. These results demonstrate that astrocytes are actively involved in synaptic physiology and brain function and lend further support to the idea that animal behavior results from the coordinated activity of neurons and astrocytes.
Adamsky 等人的研究表明,星形胶质细胞的刺激增强了突触传递,并提高了记忆任务中的行为表现。这些结果表明星形胶质细胞积极参与突触生理学和大脑功能,并进一步支持动物行为是由神经元和星形胶质细胞的协调活动产生的观点。
