 The current study provides novel evidence that brain function varies with baseline uric acid level. Specifically, these results demonstrate that uric acid is associated with a greater hippocampal response to psychosocial stress. (({{pubmed>long:27725214}}))

+==== astroglia ====
+Astrocytes perform many functions, including biochemical support of endothelial cells that form the blood–brain barrier, provision of nutrients to the nervous tissue, maintenance of extracellular ion balance, and a role in the repair and scarring process of the brain and spinal cord following traumatic injuries.
+* Astrocytes are a type of glial cells and they hold various roles, mostly supporting neurons.
