How Brain Proteins Shape Neural Connections

A new study links hundreds of brain proteins to differences in how brain regions communicate, revealing how microscale molecules can influence macroscale brain connectivity. Researchers studied brain samples and scans from elderly participants to map biochemical mechanisms affecting structural and functional connectivity in the brain. By integrating protein and RNA data with neuroimaging, they identified key proteins associated with communication between brain areas.

Not All Astrocytes in the Brain Are the Same

A new study published in Neuron challenges the idea that astrocytes across the brain are largely identical. Researchers found astrocytes in the hippocampus and striatum have differences that affect how they function and interact with neurons. Striatal astrocytes also have different genes turned on that hippocampal astrocytes, the study reports.
