Approach: We developed a brain-wide astrocyte Fos-tagging and imaging system combining AAV-PHP.eB vectors, Fos-iCreERT2 TRAP2 mice, and serial two-photon tomography. This enables single-cell level, whole brain mapping of behaviorally-relevant astrocyte ensembles in mice. 3/8

Just out in Nature! “The astrocytic ensemble acts as a multiday trace to stabilize memory.” We identified astrocytic ensembles that link experiences across days to stabilize memory nature.com/articles/s41.... New astrocyte tools are openly available at Addgene: addgene.org/Jun_Nagai/. 1/8
