The ''glial impairment hypothesis'' states that astrocytes which change from normal into the reactive type lose their ability to clear extracellular K ؉ , which in turn leads to hyperexcitability in the gliotic tissue. As this hypothesis was never proven or disproven, the question of glial efficienc
