Brain's support network may play key role in attention deficit, hyperactivity behaviors
A new UCLA study suggests that brain cells called astrocytes, previously thought to provide mainly nourishment and housekeeping functions for neurons, may play a key role in the regulation of attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity.

A new UCLA study suggests that brain cells called astrocytes, previously thought to provide mainly nourishment and housekeeping functions for neurons, may play a key role in the regulation of attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity.
The research, published in the journal Cell, was led by Baljit Khakh, a professor of physiology and neurobiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. A central aim of Khakh's lab has been to understand more about how astrocytes affect and regulate neural networks.
