| description | An astrocyte type that presents radial protrusions across the layers of a cortex. The soma of this astrocyte is part of the first layer of a neocortex. This astrocyte extents its protrusions transversally to the deeper layers of a cortex and it creates contact with neurons, the pia matter and capillaries. This astrocyte is involved in facilitating the communication across neurons, astrocytes, capillaries, meninges and the cerebrospinal fluid. |
