Mean expression levels of well established markers for astroglia, neurons, oligodendrocytes and microglia were analyzed in the transcriptional profiles of ten Bergmann glia (five each from P6 and P30) using GeneSpring GX 7.3 software.

By monitoring the activity of neurons and astroglia by simultaneous single or dual patch-clamp recordings, field potential recordings, and Ca2+ signal imaging in different experimental models of epilepsy, Giorgio Carmignoto and colleagues at the National Research Council, Italy, found that an episode of hyperactivity in a restricted group of neurons massively activates nearby astrocytes.

The Bergmann glial cell is a type of astroglia that performs a range of important functions in the cerebellum throughout the life of the animal.

Publishing next week in the online, open access journal PLoS Biology, a new study reveals that early activation of astroglia, the main population of glial cells in the brain, by hyperactive neurons is one of the crucial events that predisposes neurons nearby to the generation of an epileptic discharge.
