Inhibition of astroglial hemichannels prevents synaptic transmission decline during spreading depression

Abstract Background Spreading depression (SD) is an intriguing phenomenon characterized by massive slow brain depolarizations that affect neurons and glial cells. This phenomenon is repetitive and produces a metabolic overload that increases secondary damage. However, the mechanisms associated with...
