Some neuronal loss and reactive astrocytosis with kuru plaques, Congo-red positive, as seen in cerebellar sections.
-
The researchers focused on an abnormal condition called reactive astrocytosis, known to occur in many neurological diseases.
-
The impact of reactive astrocytosis on brain function is difficult to investigate because it usually occurs in the context of brain inflammation and abnormal changes in surrounding cells.

-
The current study found that reactive astrocytosis reduces the supply of that enzyme, which in turn decreases inhibition and allows neurons to fire out of control.
-
The researchers solved this problem by using a virus to selectively cause reactive astrocytosis without triggering broader inflammation and brain injury, in a mouse model.
