DESCRIPTION:'Anatomical and function dissection of neuron-astrocyte interac
 tions in the mature brain'\n\nDr. Keith Murai\n\n51³Ô¹ÏÍø \n\nDep
 artment of Neurology & Neurosurgery\n\nAstrocytes are key partners for neu
 rons in the healthy brain and contribute to the physiology and homeostasis
  of neural circuits. Astrocytes perform diverse functions through their el
 aborate structural and molecular properties. However\, the prescise mechan
 isms that create and maintain differences among astrocytes remain poorly u
 nderstood. In this presentation\, results will be presented showing the re
 markable anatomical and functional complexity of astrocytes in the brain u
 sing advanced electron microscopy and molecular techniques. Furthermore\, 
 results will be shown demonstrating how mature neurons in the brain signal
  to neighbouring astrocytes to direct their molecular and physiological fe
 atures. This neuron to astrocyte communication is both necessary and suffi
 cient for astrocyte molecular diversification including the expression of 
 key molecules including glutamate transporters and receptors\, potassium c
 hannels\, and water channels. Thus\, astrocytes receive important informat
 ion from neurons to ensure that they are properly specialized for nearby b
 rain circuits.\n\nSEMINAR POSTER\n
