## Abstract Astrocytes clear synaptically released glutamate from the extracellular space through highβaffinity transporters present on their plasma membrane. By controlling the extracellular level of the main excitatory transmitter in the central nervous system, astrocytes thus contribute prominen

Intracellular recordings were made from neurons in the dorsolateral septal nucleus (DLSN) of rat brain slices. Lowering the concentration of extracellular glucose resulted in a concentration-dependent membrane hyperpolarization associated with a cessation of spontaneous firing. The amplitude of the
The central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICc) is a major processing center for the ascending auditory pathways. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and excitant amino acids (EAAs) are essential for coding many auditory tasks in the IC. Recently, a number of neurochemical and immunocytochemical stu
