Computational quest for understanding the role of astrocyte signaling in synaptic transmission and plasticity

The complexity of the signaling network that underlies astrocyte-synapse interactions may seem discouraging when tackled from a theoretical perspective. Computational modeling is challenged by the fact that many details remain hitherto unknown and conventional approaches to describe synaptic functio...
