Astroglial Excitability and Gliotransmission: An Appraisal of Ca as a Signalling Route
ASN Neuro, 2012 Astroglial cells, due to their passive electrical properties, were long considered subservient to neurons and to merely provide the framework and metabolic support of the brain.

Modulation of Synaptic Plasticity by Glutamatergic Gliotransmission: A Modeling Study [PDF]
Neural Plasticity, 2016 Glutamatergic gliotransmission, that is, the release of glutamate from perisynaptic astrocyte processes in an activity-dependent manner, has emerged as a potentially crucial signaling pathway for regulation of synaptic plasticity, yet its modes of ...

Trpv4 Mediates Hypotonic Inhibition of Central Osmosensory Neurons via Taurine Gliotransmission
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: The maintenance of hydromineral homeostasis requires bidirectional detection of changes in extracellular fluid osmolality by primary osmosensory neurons (ONs) in the organum vasculosum laminae terminalis (OVLT). Hypertonicity excites ONs in part

Gliotransmission: Beyond Black-and-White [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 Astrocytes are highly complex cells with many emerging putative roles in brain function. Of these, gliotransmission (active information transfer from glia to neurons) has probably the widest implications on our understanding of how the brain works: do ...

Looks Can Be Deceiving: Reconsidering the Evidence for Gliotransmission [PDF]
Neuron, 2014 Gliotransmission, a process involving active vesicular release of glutamate and other neurotransmitters by astrocytes, is thought to play a critical role in many brain functions. A new paper by Nedergaard et al.

Glutamatergic and GABAergic gliotransmission [PDF]
, 2015 Glutamatergic and GABAergic gliotransmission is a compilation of studies on the ability of glial cells to release glutamate by exocytosis and GABA by bestrophin 1 channel.

Modelling the modulation of cortical Up-Down state switching by astrocytes.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Up-Down synchronization in neuronal networks refers to spontaneous switches between periods of high collective firing activity (Up state) and periods of silence (Down state).

Gliotransmission Orchestrates Neuronal Type-specific Axon Regeneration [PDF]
, 2022 Why closely related neuronal types differ in their axon regenerative abilities remains elusive. Here, I demonstrate gliotransmission determines such a difference in Drosophila larval sensory neurons.

Active dendrites regulate the impact of gliotransmission on rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 An important consequence of gliotransmission, a signaling mechanism that involves glial release of active transmitter molecules, is its manifestation as N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-dependent slow inward currents in neurons.

Gliotransmission and the tripartite synapse
, 2012 In the last years, the classical view of glial cells (in particular of astrocytes) as a simple supportive cell for neurons has been replaced by a new vision in which glial cells are active elements of the brain.
