Astroglia are a broad class of neural parenchymal cells primarily dedicated to homoeostasis and defence the central nervous system (CNS). contribute pathophysiology all neurological neuropsychiatric disorders in ways that can be either beneficial or detrimental disorder outcome. Pathophysiological changes astroglia primary secondary result gain loss functions. respond external, non-cell autonomous signals associated with any form CNS pathology by undergoing complex variable their structure, molecular expression, function. In addition, internally driven, cell astroglial innate properties lead pathologies. Astroglial is complex, different pathophysiological states phenotypes context-specific vary disorder, disorder-stage, comorbidities, age, sex. Here, we classify into (i) reactive astrogliosis, (ii) atrophy function, (iii) degeneration death, (iv) astrocytopathies characterised aberrant forms drive disease.

Abstract Astrocytes are known to influence neuronal activity through different mechanisms, including the homeostatic control of extracellular levels ions and neurotransmitters exchange signaling molecules that regulate synaptic formation, structure, function. While a great effort done in past has defined many molecular mechanisms cellular processes involved astrocyte‐neuron interactions at level, consequences these network level vivo have only relatively recently been identified. This review describes discusses recent findings on regulatory effects astrocytes networks vivo. Accumulating but still limited, evidence indicates rhythmic synchronization as well brain states. These studies demonstrate critical contribution paving way for more thorough understanding bases

Glia are as numerous in the brain neurons and widely known to serve supportive roles such structural scaffolding, extracellular ionic neurotransmitter homeostasis, metabolic support. However, over past two decades, several lines of evidence indicate that astrocytes, which a type glia, play active neural information processing. Astrocytes, although not electrically active, can exhibit form excitability by dynamic changes intracellular calcium levels. They sense synaptic activity release neuroactive substances, named gliotransmitters, modulate neuronal transmission areas, thus impacting animal behavior. This "dialogue" between astrocytes is embodied concept tripartite synapse includes integral elements function. Here, we review recent work discuss how via calcium-mediated processing at various spatial time scales.

Abstract Since it was first generally accepted that the two amino acids glutamate and GABA act as principal neurotransmitters, several landmark discoveries relating to this function have been uncovered. Synaptic homeostasis of these transmitters involves cell types working in close collaboration is facilitated by specialized cellular processes. Notably, are extensively recycled between neurons astrocytes a process known glutamate/GABA‐glutamine cycle, which essential maintain synaptic transmission. The cycle intimately coupled energy metabolism relies on metabolic both astrocytes. Importantly, display unique features allowing extensive metabolite release, hereby providing support for neurons. Furthermore, undergo complex adaptations response injury pathology, may greatly affect transmission during disease. In Milestone Review we outline major relation balancing signaling, including uptake, metabolism, recycling. We provide special focus how astrocyte contribute sustain neuronal through transfer. Recent advances reviewed context brain toxicity neurodegeneration. Finally, consider pathological serve potential target intervention. Integrating multitude fine‐tuned processes supporting neurotransmitter recycling, will aid next generation homeostasis. image

Abstract Human studies consistently identify bioenergetic maladaptations in brains upon aging and neurodegenerative disorders of (NDAs), such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s Huntington’s Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Glucose is the major brain fuel glucose hypometabolism has been observed regions vulnerable to NDAs. Many susceptible are topological central hub connectome, linked by densely interconnected long-range axons. Axons, key components have high metabolic needs support neurotransmission other essential activities. Long-range axons particularly injury, neurotoxin exposure, protein stress, lysosomal dysfunction, etc. Axonopathy often an early sign neurodegeneration. Recent ascribe axonal maintenance failures local dysregulation. With this review, we aim stimulate research exploring metabolically oriented neuroprotection strategies enhance or normalize bioenergetics NDA models. Here start summarizing evidence from human patients animal models reveal correlation between connectomic disintegration aging/NDAs. To encourage mechanistic investigations on how dysregulation occurs during aging/NDAs, first review current literature distinct subdomains: axon initial segments, myelinated arbors harboring pre-synaptic boutons. In each subdomain, focus organization, activity-dependent regulation system, external glial support. Second, mechanisms regulating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) homeostasis, molecule for energy metabolism processes, including NAD biosynthetic, recycling, consuming pathways. Third, highlight innate vulnerability connectome discuss its perturbation As deficits developing into NDAs, especially asymptomatic phase, they likely exaggerated further impaired energetic cost neural network hyperactivity, pathology. Future interrogating causal relationship vulnerability, axonopathy, amyloid/tau pathology, cognitive decline will provide fundamental knowledge therapeutic interventions.
