Effects of sleep and wake on astrocytes: clues from molecular and ultrastructural studies

BACKGROUND: Astrocytes can mediate neurovascular coupling, modulate neuronal excitability, and promote synaptic maturation and remodeling. All these functions are likely to be modulated by the sleep/wake cycle, because brain metabolism, neuronal activity and synaptic turnover change as a function of...
