Neuromodulation of Astrocytic K<sup>+</sup> Clearance

Neuromodulation of Astrocytic K<sup>+</sup> Clearance

Potassium homeostasis is fundamental for brain function. Therefore, effective removal of excessive K+ from the synaptic cleft during neuronal activity is paramount. Astrocytes play a key role in K+ clearance from the extracellular milieu using various mechanisms, including uptake via Kir channels an...
