We are trying to learn how astrocytes influence the way that neurons talk to one another. The connections between neurons are called synapses. The synapses in the human brain far outnumbers neurons themselves because each neuron can have at least 7000 synapses!!
So we are interested in how to make these connections work better to compensate when function is lost because of brain injury, aging or disease.
