Journal ArticleDOI
Glia-Derived d-Serine Controls NMDA Receptor Activity and Synaptic Memory
Aude Panatier,Dionysia T. Theodosis,Jean-Pierre Mothet,Bastien Touquet,Loredano Pollegioni,Dominique A. Poulain,Stéphane H. R. Oliet +6 more
TL;DR: The degree of astrocytic coverage of neurons governs the level of glycine site occupancy on the NMDA receptor, thereby affecting their availability for activation and thus the activity dependence of long-term synaptic changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophysiology of hypothalamic magnocellular neurones secreting oxytocin and vasopressin
TL;DR: The hypothesis that nerve cells are true secreting cells, and act upon one other and upon the cells of other organs by the passage of a chemical substance of the nature of a ferment or proferment from the first cell to the second is formed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of glutamate clearance and synaptic efficacy by glial coverage of neurons.
TL;DR: Analysis of excitatory synaptic transmission in the rat hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus revealed that glutamate clearance and, as a consequence, glutamate concentration and diffusion in the extracellular space, is associated with the degree of astrocytic coverage of its neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity-Dependent Structural and Functional Plasticity of Astrocyte-Neuron Interactions
TL;DR: Where astrocytic-neuronal interactions become highly dynamic, a plasticity that has important functional consequences since it modifies extracellular ionic homeostasis, neurotransmission, gliotransmission, and ultimately neuronal function at the cellular and system levels is observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping of the distribution of polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule throughout the central nervous system of the adult rat: An immunohistochemical study
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that well-defined areas of the central nervous system of the adult rat continue to express the polysialylated isoform of the neural cell adhesion molecule, and no obvious differences were detected in the amount or distribution of immunoreactivity in relation to the sex or age of the animals.
