People who study glia are getting all excited about the ‘tripartite synapse’ where astrocytes that wrap around the synaptic cleft play an active role in controlling neurotransmission. Well TAKE THAT glia researchers! Selective Stimulation of Astrocyte Calcium In Situ Does Not Affect Neuronal Excitatory Synaptic ActivityTodd A. Fiacco, Cendra Agulhon, Sarah R. Taves, Jeremy Petravicz, … Continue reading Glia are just support cells
