Increased Extrasynaptic Glutamate Escape in Stochastically Shaped Probabilistic Synaptic Environment
Excitatory synapses in the brain are often surrounded by nanoscopic astroglial processes that express high-affinity glutamate transporters at a high surface density. This ensures that the bulk of glutamate leaving the synaptic cleft is taken up for its subsequent metabolic conversion and replenishme...
