“Tripartite Synapses: Astrocyte regulation of synaptic function, network activity and animal behavior”
Alfonso Araque is a professor in the Department of Neuroscience – University of Minneapolis, USA. His research interests focus on the mechanisms, properties, and physiological consequences of the communication between neurons and astrocytes. He employs electrophysiological, opto/chemogenetic tools and imaging experimental approaches to understand how the communication between neurons and astrocytes affects physiological and pathological aspects of brain function.
