Calcium signaling and gliotransmission in normal versus reactive astrocytes

Calcium signaling and gliotransmission in normal versus reactive astrocytes

A prominent area of neuroscience research over the past 20 years has been the acute modulation of neuronal synaptic activity by Ca2+-dependent release of the transmitters ATP, D-serine, and glutamate (called gliotransmitters) by astrocytes. Although the physiological relevance of this mechanism is u...
