Astrocytes in (Patho)Physiology of the Nervous System
Due to their lack of electrical excitability, astrocytes, a subtype of glial cell, have long been neglected as active participants in intercellular communication within the central nervous system. Astrocytes, however, possess a diverse assortment of ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, and tran...
