## Abstract To verify whether altered glial glutamate uptake contributes to the reduced efficacy of glutamatergic transmission reported in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenics, we studied the expression of GLTโ1, the transporter responsible for most glutamate transport, in autoptic samples of pr
## Background: The neurotransmitter glutamate is involved in fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain. glutamate released from presynaptic terminals must be removed rapidly from the synaptic cleft by high affinity, sodium-dependent glutamate transporters to keep the extracellula
