Fatty diets and obesity affect the structure and function of astrocytes, the star-shaped brain cells located in the striatum, ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells in the striatum, are key players in how obesity alters brain function and metabolism.

New research highlights how astrocytes, long considered mere support cells, actively shape brain network dynamics.
