On Astrocytes and Glutamate Neurotransmission: New Waves in Brain Information Processing (Neuroscience Intelligence Unit)

This book summarizes what is known about astroglial-neuronal interaction in glutamate neurotransmission, focusing on astroglial contributions to synaptic dynamics. It briefly addresses different topics such as membrane receptors and signal transduction systems on astroglia and the expression of some ion channels and glutamate carriers.
