Zusammenfassung der Ressource

Glial Cells
  1. Have Glutamate transporters

    Anmerkungen:

    • bind glu and remove it from cleft - cessation of Excitatory transmission
    1. Astrocytes -hindering diffusion of Glu and GABA in the EC space
      1. thus regulate intersynaptic communication between neighbouring synapses and hence overall volume transmission in the brain
        1. E.g. Glutamate spillover onto preS gp2/3 mGluRs on GABAergic synapses
          1. this would decrease GABA release
            1. Piet et al 2004
            2. HFS - lots of GABA release
              1. Activates Pre-S GABAb receptors of Glutamatergic synapses
                1. Decreases Glu Release
