Astrocytic p38α MAPK drives NMDA receptor-dependent long-term depression and modulates long-term memory

How astrocytes influence neuronal plasticity remains unclear, as they are typically considered as modulators of core mechanisms driven by neuronal components. Here, authors show that Long-term depression (LTD) induction in the hippocampus triggers calcium signaling in the astrocyte and enhances SNAR...
