计算星形胶质细胞：星形胶质细胞将抑制活性编码到其钙升高的频率和空间范围中
Computational Astrocyence: Astrocytes encode inhibitory activity into the frequency and spatial extent of their calcium elevations
摘要：
破译神经传递和星形胶质细胞$Ca^{2+}$升高之间的复杂相互作用是一个有希望全面了解脑功能的目标。虽然星形胶质细胞对兴奋性突触活动的反应已被广泛研究，但抑制性活动如何导致细胞内$Ca^{2+}$波仍不清楚。在这项研究中，我们开发了一个房室星形胶质细胞模型，表现出不同水平的抑制活性的反应。我们的模型表明，星形胶质细胞覆盖的抑制终端定义的空间和时间尺度的$Ca^{2+}$海拔。了解突触通路和星形胶质细胞反应之间的相互作用将有助于我们确定星形胶质细胞在健康和疾病中如何独立工作以及与神经元合作。
英文摘要：
Deciphering the complex interactions between neurotransmission and astrocytic $Ca^{2+}$ elevations is a target promising a comprehensive understanding of brain function. While the astrocytic response to excitatory synaptic activity has been extensively studied, how inhibitory activity results to intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ waves remains elusive. In this study, we developed a compartmental astrocytic model that exhibits distinct levels of responsiveness to inhibitory activity. Our model suggested that the astrocytic coverage of inhibitory terminals defines the spatial and temporal scale of their $Ca^{2+}$ elevations. Understanding the interplay between the synaptic pathways and the astrocytic responses will help us identify how astrocytes work independently and cooperatively with neurons, in health and disease.
