Astrocytes play a predominant role in energy metabolism and in the catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate, neurotransmitters critically involved in epileptic processes. We show specific astrocytic alterations in the genetic absence epilepsy rats from Strasbourg (GAERS). Spontaneo
## Abstract Glutamine synthetase immunoreactive oligodendrocytes were identified in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord. They were mostly confined to the gray matter, particularly close to neurons and processes. The white matter showed few immunoreactive oligodendroglia. It
Glutamine synthetase (GS) has been qualified as a very specific marker of astroglial-type neuroglia in vertebrate neural tissues. In this paper we have begun to examine the possibility that glial localization of GS could be a ubiquitous characteristic of complex nervous systems. To this end we have
