Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Hannah M Jahn"
- Hannah M. Jahn's research primarily focuses on the roles of glial cells, particularly astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, in the central nervous system, covering aspects such as their impact on neuronal function and metabolic support during brain injury and development.
- Recent findings highlight the involvement of mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contacts in astrocytes in promoting vascular remodeling after acute brain injury, showcasing the adaptive responses of glial cells to changing environmental conditions.
- Jahn's work also emphasizes the importance of critical periods in the integration of adult-born neurons into existing neural circuits, suggesting that both activity and experience play crucial roles in shaping neuronal connectivity and functionality.
