Delayed astrocyte development impairs Sema6a-Plxna2/4-mediated astrocyte-neuron crosstalk and causes depressive-like behavior
It is demonstrated that Egfr knockout during the critical period of neuronal maturation results in a transient absence of astrocytes, with recovery observed in adult mice, and developmental disruption of EGFR signaling leads to transient astrocyte loss and impaired astrocyte–neuron crosstalk.
