What is a brain cell but not a neuron? It sounds like a riddle, but our brains are full of lesser-known cells besides the more well known neurons.
In this microscopy image, we see one such cell known as an astrocyte, named for their star-like shape. #SciShots
Thrilled to wrap up the year and my postdoc work in the Nester lab with this publication 🥳! We show that astrocytic CREB regulates astrocyte calcium and D1-MSN activity to drive behavioral response to cocaine. https://t.co/WX01yKEG2p
