Inhibition of Connexin43 hemichannels impairs spatial short-term memory without affecting spatial working memory [PDF]
Astrocytes are active players in higher brain function as they can release gliotransmitters, which are essential for synaptic plasticity. Various mechanisms have been proposed for gliotransmission, including vesicular mechanisms as well as non-vesicular ...
