Role for astroglial α1-adrenoreceptors in gliotransmission and control of synaptic plasticity in the neocortex
Communication between neuronal and glial cells is thought to be very important for many brain functions. Acting via release of gliotransmitters, astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength. The mechanisms underlying gliotransmission remain uncertain with exocytosis being the most intriguing and debate...
