## Abstract Carboxylation of pyruvate in the brain was for many years thought to occur only in glia, an assumption that formed much of the basis for the concept of the glutamine cycle. It was shown recently, however, that carboxylation of pyruvate to malate occurs in neurons and that it supports fo
## Abstract Rapid signaling between vertebrate neurons occurs primarily at synapses, intercellular junctions where quantal release of neurotransmitter triggers rapid changes in membrane conductance through activation of ionotropic receptors. Glial cells express many of these same ionotropic recepto
