Drosophila melanogaster Astrocytes Respond to and Modulate Synaptic Transmission: A Correlative Anatomical and Electrophysiological Study

Astrocytes are the most abundant non-neuronal cells in vertebrate brains. Although Drosophila melanogaster has fewer astrocytic cells relative to neuronal and other glial cell populations, they, like vertebrate astrocytes, are located in synaptic regions, organized into exclusive, minimally-overlapp...
