Consistent with recent studies of such changes, we find that long - lasting potentiation of
synaptic transmission between cultured hippocampal neurons is accompanied by an increase in the number of clusters of postsynaptic
glutamate receptors containing the subunit GluR1.
Review of the literature underlines a role for vesicular release of
glutamate from astrocytes in
synaptic transmission (Neuroscience 2009a).
Important aspects are how nerve endings provide
glutamate for
synaptic release and how they recover released
glutamate for reuse, as well as how synapses provide energy for
synaptic transmission and how astrocytes can modulate neuronal function.
