Acute activation of hemichannels by ethanol leads to Ca2+-dependent gliotransmitter release in astrocytes

Acute activation of hemichannels by ethanol leads to Ca2+-dependent gliotransmitter release in astrocytes

Multiple studies have demonstrated that acute ethanol consumption alters brain function and cognition. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Astrocyte-mediated gliotransmission is crucial for hippocampal plasticity, and recently, the opening of hemichannel...
