Figure 1. Astrocyte-mediated synapse elimination before and after motor learning

Caption

Astrocyte-mediated synapse elimination was significantly increased after motor learning. This learning-associated increase was not observed in astrocyte-specific Megf10 knockout mice. In addition, Megf10 knockout mice showed significantly impaired motor learning performance compared to controls.
