Astroglial calcium waves are signaling mechanisms in the brain
Astroglial calcium waves and intracellular calcium signaling are well-documented mechanisms by which astrocytes modulate brain homeostasis, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal communication.
The claim is specific, empirical, and directly supported by multiple retrieved papers demonstrating that calcium signaling and waves in astrocytes are active physiological and pathological mechanisms in the brain.
