Alteration of sensory-evoked metabolic and oscillatory activities in the olfactory bulb of GLAST-deficient mice
Astrocytes are key cellular elements in both the tripartite synapse and the neuro-vascular unit. To fulfill this dual role in synaptic activity and metabolism, they express a panel of receptors and transporters that sense glutamate. Among them, the GLT-1 and GLAST transporters are known to regulate...
