Recorded as a panel discussion following the UTSA Neurosciences Institute’s 2018 research symposium.  The group discusses the tripartite synapse concept, which was coined by two of our panelists, Phil Haydon and Alfonso Araque, in the late 1990s.  The group considers the diverse mechanisms of astrocyte-neuron communication and the magnitude of how we are beginning to redefine the neural circuits of behavior and disease based on this new framework.  Hosted by Salma Quraishi.
