Spontaneous Ca2+ Fluctuations Arise in Thin Astrocytic Processes With Real 3D Geometry
Fluctuations of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in astrocytes are regarded as a critical non-neuronal signal to regulate neuronal functions. Although such fluctuations can be evoked by neuronal activity, rhythmic astrocytic Ca2+ oscillations may also spontaneously arise. Experimental studies hint that...
