Motor-Skill Learning Is Dependent on Astrocytic Activity.

Neural plasticity - 1 Jan 2015

Padmashri Ragunathan, Suresh Anand, Boska Michael D, Dunaevsky Anna

Abstract excerpt

Motor-skill learning induces changes in synaptic structure and function in the primary motor cortex through the involvement of a long-term potentiation- (LTP-) like mechanism. Although there is evidence that calcium-dependent release of gliotransmitters by astrocytes plays an important role in synaptic transmission and plasticity, the role of astrocytes in motor-skill learning is not known. To test the hypothesis...
