摘要: Abstract The central nervous system is composed of two main classes cells: neurons and glia. This chapter focuses on the astrocyte, a subtype glial cell, its role in regulation neuronal activity brain function. We will review recent evidence demonstrating that astrocytes release different chemical transmitters, process called gliotransmission, modulate neighboring neurons. discuss importance this astrocyte-to-neuron signaling to synaptic function, network activity, behavior.
