The contribution of processes and cell soma to total astrocyte swelling is altered in astrocytes lacking α-syntrophin.

<p>A scheme depicting differences in swelling of astrocytic processes and cell soma in response to severe hypoosmotic stress, 50 mM K⁺ and OGD (oxygen-glucose deprivation), highlighting smaller swelling of astrocytic processes in GFAP/EGFP/α-Syn^−/− mice compared to those in GFAP/EGFP mice due to altered distribution of aquaporin4 and Kir4.1 channels.
