- Astrocyte properties in cetacean cortices. Venkatesh, Anu McClain, Abby M Le-Bert, Carolina R Musser, Whitney B Ridgway, Sam H Astrocytes Animals Cerebral Cortex Cetacea Male Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Female Cetacean neurons are far more extensively studied in the scientific literature than the other principal cell type of the central nervous system-glia. To help address this knowledge gap, the current study profiled astrocytes in five cetacean species-Tursiops truncatus (Tt), Orcinus orca (Oo), Ziphius cavirostris (Zc), Pseudorca crassidens (Pc), and Kogia breviceps (Kb) with brain masses ranging from 596 g in Kb to 6215 g for Oo. Using formalin-fixed brain tissues stained with anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein antibodies, astrocyte distributions across cortical regions were profiled for each animal, including measurements of astrocyte diameter. Results showed statistically significant (p
