AbstractAstrocytes—the most abundant non-neuronal cell type in the mammalian brain—are crucial circuit components that respond to and modulate neuronal activity via calcium (Ca2+) signaling. Astrocyte Ca2+ activity is highly heterogeneous and occurs across multiple spatiotemporal scales: from fast, subcellular activity to slow, synchronized activity that travels across connected astrocyte networks. Furthermore, astrocyte network activity has been shown to influence a wide range of processes.
