Astrocytes are glial cells in the central nervous system that form a vast electrical network connected via gap junctions, called astrocyte syncytium. My thesis focused on the role of astrocyte syncytium in regulating neuronal excitability and neurovascular coupling in the brain. -see citations below for access to published articles (open access)
