## Abstract The termination of chemical neurotransmission in the CNS involves the rapid removal of neurotransmitter from synapses by specific transport systems. Such mechanism operates for the three major amino acid neurotransmitters glutamate, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine. To date, five

## Abstract The termination of chemical neurotransmission in the central nervous system (CNS) involves the rapid removal of neurotransmitter from synapses. This is fulfilled by specific transport systems in neurons and glia, including those for γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurot
## Abstract Glial cells possess transport systems for the three major amino acid neurotransmitters glutamate, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine, involved in the arrest of neurotransmission mediated by these compounds. Two glycine transporters have been cloned: GLYT1, mainly expressed by glial
## Abstract Glutamate, the main excitatory amino acid in the vertebrate brain, is critically involved in most of the physiological functions of the central nervous system. It has traditionally been assumed that glutamate triggers a wide array of signaling cascades through the activation of specific
