## Abstract A pathophysiological increase in free arachidonic acid (AA) is thought to regulate the channel‐mediated astrocytic swelling occurring in several brain injuries.

## Abstract Glial cell‐mediated potassium and glutamate homeostases play important roles in the regulation of neuronal excitability. Diminished potassium and glutamate buffering capabilities of astrocytes result in hyperexcitability of neurons and abnormal synaptic transmission. The role of the dif
