Correction to: Nature Neuroscience https://doi.org/10.1038/s41593-025-02115-w, published online 21 November 2025. In the version of the article initially published, in Fig. 2b, the y-axis labels “SLC1A2” and “AQP4” were switched and have been corrected so that “AQP4” is on the left and “SLC1A2” on the right. The labels “Human Con” and “Human AD” were originally misplaced and have also now been updated. These corrections have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article, as seen in Fig.

Abstract Astrocytes play essential roles in the brain, and their dysfunction is associated with nearly every form of neurological disease. Despite their ubiquity, knowledge of how astrocytes contribute to disease pathogenesis is incomplete; accordingly, harnessing their biology toward therapeutics remains a major challenge.
