Electrophysiological evidence for glial-subtype glutamate transporter functional expression in rat cerebellar granule neurons

Electrophysiological evidence for glial-subtype glutamate transporter functional expression in rat cerebellar granule neurons

A glutamate-sensitive inward current (Iglu) is described in rat cerebellar granule neurons and related to a glutamate transport mechanism. We examined the features of Iglu using the patch-clamp technique. In steady-state conditions the Iglu measured 8.14 ± 1.9 pA. Iglu was identified as a voltage-de...
