Da un certo punto di vista Astrocyte e' come un Neurone, mette a disposizione SynBouton, che con Presynapse e Postynapse creano la Synapse. Ma la Synapse forse e' esterna al concetto di atrocyte?
A single astrocyte has a highly branched structure with thousands of fine processes, each wrapping around a different synapse. A human cortical astrocyte can contact anywhere from 100,000 to 2 million synapses simultaneously. So the question of selectivity is real and important.
