## ASTROCYTE: Comprehension

Qui comprendiamo Astrocyte. Quando esprimiamo DEV, il ragionamento sara' nell'ambito del network di Astrocytes, tipo se c'e' abbastanza ATP o cose del genere.

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.
