## Abstract Glial cells express specific highβaffinity transporters for glutamate that play a central role in glutamate clearance at excitatory synapses in the brain. These transporters are electrogenic and are mainly energized by the electrochemical gradient for sodium. In the present study, we co
## Abstract Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the existence of bidirectional communication between glial cells and neurons, indicating an important active role of glia in the physiology of the nervous system. Neurotransmitters released by presynaptic terminals during synaptic activity increase
Synaptic transmission between photoreceptors and horizontal cells can be modulated in at least two domains: amplitude and time. In teleost fish, synaptic transmission is modulated mainly in the amplitude domain. Cone-driven horizontal cells in this species require background illumination to maintain
