Journal ArticleDOI
Neuron-to-astrocyte signaling is central to the dynamic control of brain microcirculation
Micaela Zonta,María Cecilia Angulo,Sara Gobbo,Bernhard Rosengarten,K.-A. Hossmann,Tullio Pozzan,Giorgio Carmignoto +6 more
TL;DR: In vivo blockade of glutamate-mediated [Ca2+]i elevations in astrocytes reduced the blood flow increase in the somatosensory cortex during contralateral forepaw stimulation and showed that neuron-to-astrocyte signaling is a key mechanism in functional hyperemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal Synchrony Mediated by Astrocytic Glutamate through Activation of Extrasynaptic NMDA Receptors
TL;DR: The results reveal a distinct mechanism for neuronal excitation and synchrony and highlight a functional link between astrocytic glutamate and extrasynaptic NMDA receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutamate-mediated cytosolic calcium oscillations regulate a pulsatile prostaglandin release from cultured rat astrocytes
TL;DR: It is concluded that finely tuned release of PGE2 from astrocytes provides a coherent mechanistic background for the role of these glial cells in functional hyperaemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astrocytic Glutamate Is Not Necessary for the Generation of Epileptiform Neuronal Activity in Hippocampal Slices
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nonsynaptic glutamate release from astrocytes is not necessary for the generation of epileptiform activity in vitro, although it cannot exclude the possibility that it may modulate the strength of the ictal (seizure)-like event.
Book ChapterDOI
Neurotrophins in spinal cord nociceptive pathways.
Adalberto Merighi,Giorgio Carmignoto,Sara Gobbo,L Lossi,Chiara Salio,Angela Maria Vergnano,Michaela Zonta +6 more
TL;DR: The status of the art on the role of neurotrophins in nociceptive pathways is summarized, with special emphasis on short-term synaptic and intracellular events that are mediated by this novel class of neuromessengers in the dorsal horn.
