Astrocyte glutamate uptake coordinates experience‐dependent, eye‐specific refinement in developing visual cortex

The uptake of glutamate by astrocytes actively shapes synaptic transmission, however its role in the development and plasticity of neuronal circuits remains poorly understood. The astrocytic glutamate transporter, GLT1 is the predominant source of glutamate clearance in the adult mouse cortex. Here,...
