Subtle modulation of ongoing calcium dynamics in astrocytic microdomains by sensory inputs

Astrocytes communicate with neurons through their processes. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that astrocytic processes exhibit calcium activity both spontaneously and in response to external stimuli; however, it has not been fully determined whether and how astrocytic subcellular domains resp...
