    Abstract Astrocytes are being identified as having multiple roles in sleep. Initially they were shown to modulate the process of sleep homeostasis through the release of adenosine which acts on adenosine A1 receptors (A1R) to promote sleep drive. More recent studies indicate that the astrocyte also plays pivotal, sleep-dependent roles in 'cleaning the brain' during sleep. This work indicates that a glymphatic pathway that critically relies on astrocytic aquaporin 4, is able to flush solutes from the brain and that deficits in this pathway may contribute to Alzheimer's disease. Finally, astrocytes are known to play important metabolic roles and provide energy on demand to neurons through an astrocyte-neuron shuttle. Given that the time course of astrocytic function is orders of magnitude slower than that of the neuron, this non-neuronal cell is perfectly tuned to modulating slow, state-dependent changes in the brain.

    Abstract Did you know that glial cells are more numerous than neurons in the brain? Scientists have found that one type of glial cell that is prevalent in the cortex-the astrocyte-communicates with its brethren, sends information to neurons, and controls blood flow to regions of brain activity. Because of all these properties, and since the cortex is believed responsible for cognition, the role of astrocytes in sleep, learning, and memory is being determined

    Abstract Obtaining acute brain slices for electrophysiology or amperometric recordings has become a routine procedure in most labs in the field of neuroscience. Yet, protocols describing the step by step process are scarce, in particular for routine acute preparations such as from the mouse hippocampus. Here we provide a detailed protocol for the dissection, extraction and acute slicing of the mouse brain, including tips and list of material required.

    Abstract D-serine is an atypical amino acid present in the mammalian body (most amino acids in the mammalian body are L-isomers) that is mostly known in neuroscience for its role as a co-agonist controlling the N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). D-serine levels are decreased in patients with schizophrenia and this is thought to mediate, at least in part, the hypofunction of NMDARs that is central to the glutamate hypothesis for the etiology of this neuropsychiatric disorder. D-serine detection was first established using high performance liquid chromatography, a costly and complex technique that requires high levels of expertise. But with the increasing interest in this unconventional amino acid, there is an increasing need for easier, cheaper and more accessible detection methods. Here we describe the amperometric, biosensor-based method we employed in a recent publication (Papouin

    Abstract Several iPSC-derived three-dimensional (3D) cultures have been generated to model Alzheimer's disease (AD). While some AD-related phenotypes have been identified across these cultures, none of them could recapitulate multiple AD-related hallmarks in one model. To date, the transcriptomic features of these 3D models have not been compared with those of human AD brains. However, these data are crucial to understanding the pertinency of these models for studying AD-related pathomechanisms over time. We developed a 3D bioengineered model of iPSC-derived neural tissue that combines a porous scaffold composed of silk fibroin protein with an intercalated collagen hydrogel to support the growth of neurons and glial cells into complex and functional networks for an extended time, a fundamental requisite for aging studies. Cultures were generated from iPSC lines obtained from two subjects carrying the familial AD (FAD) APP London mutation, two well-studied control lines, and an isogenic control. Cultures were analyzed at 2 and 4.5 months. At both time points, an elevated Aβ42/40 ratio was detected in conditioned media from FAD cultures. However, extracellular Aβ42 deposition and enhanced neuronal excitability were observed in FAD culture only at 4.5 months, suggesting that extracellular Aβ deposition may trigger enhanced network activity. Remarkably, neuronal hyperexcitability has been described in AD patients early in the disease. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the deregulation of multiple gene sets in FAD samples. Such alterations were strikingly similar to those observed in human AD brains. These data provide evidence that our patient-derived FAD model develops time-dependent AD-related phenotypes and establishes a temporal relation among them. Furthermore, FAD iPSC-derived cultures recapitulate transcriptomic features of AD patients. Thus, our bioengineered neural tissue represents a unique tool to model AD in vitro over time.

    Abstract Work over the past 20 years has implicated electrically nonexcitable astrocytes in complex neural functions. Despite controversies, it is increasingly clear that many, if not all, neural processes involve astrocytes. This review critically examines past work to identify the commonalities among the many published studies of neuroglia signaling. Although several studies have shown that astrocytes can impact short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity, further work is required to determine the requirement for astrocytic Ca(2+) and other second messengers in these processes. One of the roadblocks to the field advancing at a rapid pace has been technical. We predict that the novel experimental tools that have emerged in recent years will accelerate the field and likely disclose an entirely novel path of neuroglia signaling within the near future.

    Abstract Although it is considered to be the most complex organ in the body, the brain can be broadly classified into two major types of cells, neuronal cells and glial cells. Glia is a general term that encompasses multiple types of non-neuronal cells that function to maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for neurons. Astrocytes, a major class of glial cell, have historically been viewed as passive support cells, but recently it has been discovered that astrocytes participate in signalling activities both with the vasculature and with neurons at the synapse. These cells have been shown to release D-serine, TNF-α, glutamate, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and ATP among other signalling molecules. ATP and its metabolites are well established as important signalling molecules, and astrocytes represent a major source of ATP release in the nervous system. Novel molecular and genetic tools have recently shown that astrocytic release of ATP and other signalling molecules has a major impact on synaptic transmission. Via actions at the synapse, astrocytes have now been shown to regulate complex network signalling in the whole organism with impacts on respiration and the sleep-wake cycle. In addition, new roles for astrocytes are being uncovered in psychiatric disorders, and astrocyte signalling mechanisms represents an attractive target for novel therapeutic agents.
