Glial cells serve a variety of functions in nervous systems, some of which are activated by neurotransmitters released from neurons. Glial cells respond to these neurotransmitters via receptors, but also take up some of the transmitters to help terminate the synaptic process. Among these, glutamate
The amino acid glutamate plays a key role in brain function. One of the major roles of glutamate is to mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission via activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). More recently, however, it has become clear that glutamate also serves a regulatory function thr
