Journal ArticleDOI

Tripartite synapses : Glia, the unacknowledged partner

TL;DR: It is suggested that perisynaptic Schwann cells and synaptically associated astrocytes should be viewed as integral modulatory elements of tripartite synapses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tripartite synapses: astrocytes process and control synaptic information

TL;DR: There is an emerging view, which is reviewed herein, in which brain function actually arises from the coordinated activity of a network comprising both neurons and glia, rather than the classically accepted paradigm that brain function results exclusively from neuronal activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gliotransmitters Travel in Time and Space

TL;DR: It is proposed that astrocytes mainly signal through high-affinity slowly desensitizing receptors to modulate neurons and perform integration in spatiotemporal domains complementary to those of neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive astrocyte nomenclature, definitions, and future directions

Carole Escartin, +88 more
- 15 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out the shortcomings of binary divisions of reactive astrocytes into good-vs-bad, neurotoxic vs-neuroprotective or A1-vs.A2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astrocytes Potentiate Transmitter Release at Single Hippocampal Synapses

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Ca 2+ elevation in astrocytes transiently increased the probability of transmitter release at hippocampal area CA3-CA1 synapses, without affecting the amplitude of synaptic events.
