Their study found that exposure to ketamine causes a lasting suppression of this giving up behavior by overstimulating astroglia. The findings, which also show that astrocytes are similarly ...

Summary: Researchers have found that ketamine’s antidepressant effects target astroglia, a type of brain support cell, rather than neurons, challenging conventional views. Using zebrafish, scientists ...

The work is published in the journal Neuron. Previous research by Janelia scientists found that astroglia act as a counter that tells the fish when to give up. As the fish registers that it isn't ...

"Our paper suggests that these astroglia, this non-neuronal cell population, are playing a very important role, and that some of the key effects of these antidepressant compounds go through ...

By taking advantage of this behavior, the ability to image the zebrafish's entire brain, and a unique virtual reality system, a team of researchers from HHMI's Janelia Research Campus, Harvard, and ...
