Astrocyte Glutamate Uptake and Signaling as Novel Targets for Antiepileptogenic Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Astrocytes regulate and respond to extracellular glutamate levels in the central nervous system (CNS) via the Na+-dependent glutamate transporters glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) and glutamate aspartate transporter (GLAST) and the metabotropic glutamate ...
