Researchers identify nonelectrical cells that transition the brain from plasticity to stability Researchers exploring the developing central nervous system of fruit flies have identified nonelectrical cells that transition the brain from highly plastic into a less moldable, mature state. The cells, known as astrocytes for their star-like shapes, and associated genes eventually could become therapeutic targets, said University of Oregon postdoctoral researcher Sarah Ackerman, who led the research. All of the cell types and signaling pathways I looked at are present in humans, Ackerman said. Two of the genes that I identified are susceptibility genes linked to neurodevelopmental disorders including autism and schizophrenia.
