message: The astrocyte/neuron picture in the link looks great, but its not very informative. The example of GFAP stained (green) cultured astrocytes on the article is more representitive of these cells, but ideally a golgi stained image, or an in situ (in tissue) two-photon image would be best as this shows the actual 3D morphology of these cells. (unsigned comment, 12/4/2006)
:Agreed. The problem is that right now we don't have any such image freely available (see Wikipedia:Image use policy for context.) However, if you have the ability to make such an image, or the rights to one that exists, and you were willing to donate it, that would be greatly appreciated. --Arcadian 23:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

text: In addition to the in vivo image a high resolution image would be nice; Mark Ellisman has some amazing images of the morphology of single astrocytes.  Some picturs are here

This is free public access, can these images be added?
Also search for "maryann martone astrocyte" in Google Image search.
I think this group also has EM tomographic astrocyte reconstructions -- a good rendering of that would add a lot.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.48.49 (talk) 04:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

message: In the main glia article, this subtype is listed under "radial glia". Does it really belong the the "Astrocyte" article? Is there a definitive source with classification of different subtypes? CopperKettle (talk) 16:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  On Bergmann glia 

message: The section on astrocytes causing stem cells to transform into "working neurons" needs a citation.  The question of whether new working neurons can be added to the adult brain is highly controversial.  The current evidence strongly indicates that no new neurons can be added to the cortex in adulthood.  If this section refers to the hippocampus only, that should be noted with the citation.  Otherwise this section should be removed. 98.216.48.49 (talk) 23:25, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neurogenesis?? 

message: The entry should be updated to reflect recent work presented in Petravicz et al 2008 in the Journal of Neuroscience where it was shown that genetic removal of IP3 receptor type 2 blocks astrocyte Ca2+ increases.  These mice were used in the cited Science paper by Agulhon et al.  So far, no significant changes in synaptic transmission have been reported in these mice, which calls into question the validity of parts of the tripartite synapse model and the theory of gliotransmission.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.69.157.33 (talk) 04:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Astrocytes were listed as being able to reuptake neurotransmitters. The correct word would be uptake as reuptake is usually reserved for neurons reuptaking the neurotransmitter they have released themselves. Luke poa (talk) 13:53, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Astrocyte#Astrocytes in chronic pain sensitization and Astrocyte#Two states of persistent pain (added 4 May 2010) seem excessively detailed for this overview article. They could be translated into common English and merged into Chronic pain. This article probably only needs to say astrocyte activity has been implicated in the genesis and maintenance of some forms of chronic pain, and link to the more detailed info. Thoughts? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 03:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronic pain sections 

message: I just read about this information from Psychology of Behavior by Neil Carlson (2013), and I like the way the book went into a small history about Golgi cells. Camillo Golgi assumed that astrocytes were responsible for providing nutrient to the neurons from the capillaries, then disposing of the waste products (some of this is mentioned in this article). A suggestion I have is to mention this idea that was not accepted right away and describing how glucose it taken from the capillaries by astrocytes. Cbruha11 (talk) 04:58, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Classification as Neuron 

message: I propose that Bergmann gliosis be included under Bergmann glia. Upon review of the current research,  and I feel there is not enough unique information to necessitate having a separate Wikipedia page. Bergmann gliosis is relevant to the topic of Bergmann glia and is short enough that it would not drastically increase the size of the Bergmann glia subsection.

message: will be removing the Bergmann glia subsection from this page due to its irrelevance to astrocyte function, concerns about plagiarism and poor quality of the information provided. We will be incorporating some of the information on this page to the Radial glial cell page by adding to the Bergmann glia subsection.
