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
Alfonso Araque,Giorgio Carmignoto,Philip G. Haydon,Stéphane H. R. Oliet,Richard Robitaille,Andrea Volterra +5 more
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.

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
Gertrudis Perea,Alfonso Araque +1 more
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.
