Role of astroglial hemichannels and pannexons in Memory and Neurodegenerative diseases
Under physiological conditions, astroglial hemichannels and pannexin channels allow the release of gliotransmitters from astrocytes. These gliotransmitters are critical in modulating synaptic transmission, plasticity and memory. However, recent evidence suggests that under pathological conditions, t...
