Distribution of vesicle pools in cerebellar parallel fibre terminals after depression of ectopic transmission.

At parallel fibre terminals in the cerebellar cortex, glutamate released outside of the active zone can activate AMPA receptors on juxtaposed Bergmann glial cell processes. This process is termed "ectopic" release, and allows for directed transmission to astroglial cells that is functional...
