Sparse short-distance connections enhance calcium wave propagation in a 3D model of astrocyte networks

Traditionally, astrocytes have been considered to couple via gap-junctions into a syncytium with only rudimentary spatial organization. However, this view is challenged by growing experimental evidence that astrocytes organize as a proper gap-junction mediated network with more complex region-depend...
