Astrocytes have long been conceived as passive support player cells in the brain. But today Science Magazine (via 3 reports) they got a big upgrade for their active role in neuromodulation and control of brain function science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Delighted to see not one, not two, but three papers about astrocytes in Science today! Here's our contribution to that collection. Come follow us on bluesky! Papouin lab twitter/X: over & out... science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

✨Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research led by Alex Chen & Misha Ahrens shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their connections. 🧠 🔗 janelia.org/news/on-the-si…

Excited to share that the second half of my postdoctoral research is now published in nature We used the fruit fly brain to uncover a new molecular mechanism of neuronal connectivity, allowing to accurately transform visual information into movement nature.com/articles/s4158…
