## Abstract The clearance of extracellular glutamate is mainly mediated by pH‐ and sodium‐dependent transport into astrocytes. During hepatic encephalopathy (HE), however, elevated extracellular glutamate concentrations are observed. The primary candidate responsible for the toxic effects observed
Double-barrelled pH-sensitive microelectrodes were used to measure the intracellular pH (pH,) of neuropil glial cells and the pH of extracellular spaces (pH,) within isolated, intact ganglia of the leech Hirudo medicinalis. By application of a weak acid (propionate, 40 mM) or a weak base (ammonium,
Our view of glial function has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. For much of the past century, glial cells were believed to have little influence on neuronal responses. Glia were thought to provide structural and metabolic support to neurons, but not to interact actively with them. Recent
