Features of local astrocyte diversity in the brain. Local astrocyte subpopulations within a given brain region are heterogeneous at the molecular and functional levels. Astrocytes in the same region also demonstrate differences that are related to adjacent neurons, such as excitatory (green) or inhibitory (pink) neurons. Cortical astrocytes exhibit diverse morphological properties and gene expression gradients based on cortical layering.
