Cortical layer 1 and layer 2/3 astrocytes exhibit distinct calcium dynamics in vivo.
Cumulative evidence supports bidirectional interactions between astrocytes and neurons, suggesting glial involvement of neuronal information processing in the brain. Cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)) concentration is important for astrocytes as Ca(2+) surges co-occur with gliotransmission and neurotransmit...
