Topics Covered

• Anatomical remodelling of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system during specific physiological conditions
• Charactersiation of this remodelling by reduction in the astrocytic coverage of manocellular neurons and their synapses
• Electrophysiological approaches show changes in the glial environment of neurons and synapses can dramatically alter synaptic functions
• The hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system as an experimental model to study the contribution of astrocytes to synaptic transmission and plasticity
