  "summary": "Astrocytes are essential regulators of synaptic transmission, brain homeostasis and behavior, and direct astrocyte activation has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality for a broad range of CNS disorders. However, selective activation of astrocytes in vivo currently requires viral transgene delivery, tethered fiber implants, or MRI-scale magnetic fields, limiting deployment across…",
