Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Glutamate receptors play an important role in the function of astrocytes. Among their tasks is the regulation of gliotransmission, gene expression and exocytosis of the tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), which has an enhancing effect on NMDA ...

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 4, Page 1695-1707, 15 February 2026.Abstract figure legend Experimentally induced status epilepticus induces microglial TNFα release, which binds to astrocytic TNFR1 and triggers activation of RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signalling, initiating necroptotic astrocytic death that contributes to the development of hippocampal sclerosis.

Astrocytic modulation of sleep homeostasis and cognitive consequences of sleep loss [PDF]
, 2009 Astrocytes modulate neuronal activity by releasing chemical transmitters via a process termed gliotransmission. The role of this process in the control of behavior is unknown.

Role for astroglial α1-adrenoreceptors in gliotransmission and control of synaptic plasticity in the neocortex [PDF]
, 2015 Communication between neuronal and glial cells is thought to be very important for many brain functions. Acting via release of gliotransmitters, astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength.

Astroglial glutamate transporters trigger glutaminergic gliotransmission
The Journal of Physiology, 2012 Rapid exchange of molecular signals between synapses and the surrounding astroglia has recently emerged as an essential player in regulating neural circuit activities in the brain. This conceptual leap was prompted in large part by early findings demonstrating that electrically non-excitable glia could, in fact, generate and propagate relatively rapid,

Gliotransmission in the hippocampus, mechanisms and interaction with synaptic functions
, 2011 SUMMARYAstrocytes represent the largest cell population in the human brain. In addition to a well established role as metabolic support for neuronal activity, in the last years these cells have been found to accomplish other important and, sometimes ...

Synaptic Functions of Hemichannels and Pannexons: A Double-Edged Sword
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 The classical view of synapses as the functional contact between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons has been challenged in recent years by the emerging regulatory role of glial cells.

Gliotransmission orchestrates neuronal type-specific axon regeneration [PDF]
, 2019 SUMMARY Why closely related neuronal types differ in their axon regenerative abilities remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate gliotransmission determines such a difference in Drosophila larval sensory neurons.

Challenging the Dogma: Reevaluating the Role of Astrocyte Calcium Signaling in Physiology [PDF]
, 2010 Gliotransmission represents one of the most important conceptual shifts in neuroscience in the past several decades. Gliotransmission refers to the process whereby glial cells release specific neurotransmitters that modulate synaptic transmission via pre-

Calcium Signaling Mechanisms Mediate Clock-Controlled ATP Gliotransmission among Immortalized Rat SCN2.2 Cell Cultures [PDF]
, 2009 The hypothalamus is an integral part of the brain's regulation of mammalian physiology and behavior. Among many functions, this regulatory center activates the sympathetic nervous system, maintains appropriate body temperature, controls food intake, and ...
