Glial Calcium: Homeostasis and Signaling Function

TL;DR: By controlling gap junction conductance, Ca2+ waves may define the limits of functional glial networks, and there is some evidence that glial [Ca2+]i waves can affect neurons.

Functional receptors for neurotransmitters on astroglial cells

TL;DR: La question posee est de savoir si les astrocytes sont des sites «accepteurs» ou s'ils sont de veritables sites recepteurs fonctionnellement couples au metabolisme intercellulaire induisant lors d'une activation une reponse cellulaire biologique significative.

Dynamic neuronal-glial interactions in hypothalamus and pituitary: Implications for control of hormone synthesis and release

TL;DR: The interactions of pituicytes with the terminals in the neurohypophysis suggests that these astrocytes are also a part of the mechanism of control of hormone release.

Beta Adrenergic Receptor Binding in Membrane Preparations from Mammalian Brain

TL;DR: The relatively high levels of [3H]DHA binding in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum suggest that synaptic actions of norepinephrine in these regions may involve beta receptors, and suggest that the receptors are of the beta1 type.
Journal Article

Binding characteristics of a radiolabeled agonist and antagonist at central nervous system alpha noradrenergic receptors.

TL;DR: Binding of the alpha noradrenergic agonist and the alpha antagonist [3H]WB-4101 to rat brain membranes exhibits characteristics expected of alpha receptors for norepinephrine, suggesting that binding occurs to postsynaptic sites.

A radioautographic study of the efferent pathways of the nucleus locus coeruleus.

TL;DR: The distribution of label from LC provides direct confirmation for connections which have been difficult to visualize in their entirety by any other histological or cytochemical method.

A new major projection from locus coeruleus: the main source of noradrenergic nerve terminals in the ventral and dorsal columns of the spinal cord.

TL;DR: It was concluded that locus coeruleus innervates almost all parts of the central nervous system in the rat, and a schematic map of the different CA projections to the spinal cord is presented.
