astrocyte calcium signaling in the awake mouse cortex Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (in press)
Not exact matches
They find that two different stimulus
signals can produce two different patterns of
calcium waves (that is, two different responses) in an
astrocyte.
When tested under a microscope, these human
astrocytes accomplished
calcium signaling at least three times faster than the mouse
astrocytes did.
Nicotinic cholinergic
signaling in hippocampal
astrocytes involves
calcium - induced
calcium release from intracellular stores.
