mGluR5 as a Potential Orchestrator of Astrocyte Interactions in Neurological Disorders
Astrocytes and metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) have emerged as pivotal regulators of synaptic homeostasis and neural communication within the central nervous system (CNS). Although mGluR5 ...
Anxiety Regulated by Key Signal in Brain Immune Cells | Prior research identified a group of immune cells in the brain help regulate anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Now, a high level of calcium in these immune cells has been linked to anxiety in healthy mice and in models of chronic anxiety.
