Neuronal activity [4] as well as astrocytes [5] can therefore participate in CNV, both by inducing vasodilation and vasoconstriction. [6] Thus, the NVU provides the architecture behind neurovascular coupling, which connects neuronal activity to cerebral blood flow and highlights the interdependence of their development, structure, and function.

Astrocytes are a sub-type of glial cells in the central nervous system. They are also known as astrocytic glial cells.
The Alzheimer type II astrocyte is thought to be a pathological type of cell in the brain; however, its exact pathology remains unknown. Like other astrocytes , it is a non-neuronal glial cell . It's mainly seen in diseases that cause increased levels of ammonia ( hyperammonemia ), such as chronic liver disease and Wilson's disease .
Philip Beesley's Astrocyte aims to show that architecture can be more than just ornamental. Built from acrylic, mylar, sensors, custom glasswork, 3D-printed lights and using AI, chemistry and a ...
This architecture is an online machine learning model developed by Jeff Hawkins and Dileep George of Numenta, Inc. that models some of the structural and algorithmic properties of the neocortex. HTM is a biomimetic model based on the memory-prediction theory of brain function described by Jeff Hawkins in his book On Intelligence. HTM is a ...
Astrocytes are the largest of the glial cells. They are stellate cells with many processes radiating from their cell bodies. Some of these processes end as perivascular endfeet on capillary walls. [42] The glia limitans of the cortex is made up of astrocyte endfeet processes that serve in part to contain the cells of the brain. [12]
The major types of gliotransmitters released from astrocytes include glutamate and ATP.. Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter within the central nervous system that can also be defined as a gliotransmitter due to its ability to increase cytosolic Ca 2+ concentrations in astrocytes.
Classical plaques also include abnormal, swollen neuronal processes deriving from many different types of neurons, along with activated astrocytes and microglia. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Abnormal neurites and activated glial cells are not typical of most diffuse plaques, and it has been suggested that diffuse deposits are an early stage in the development ...
