E) guidance molecules.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that astrocytes play a critical role in synaptogenesis (the formation of synapses between neurons). Astrocytes release various factors and proteins that promote the growth and maturation of neurons and their connections, including synapses. Additionally, astrocytes regulate the extracellular environment in which synaptogenesis occurs, providing a supportive environment for neural growth and connectivity.
