Mediatophore is a protein purified from Torpedo electric organ synaptosomes, which translocates acetylcholine (ACh) upon calcium action after reconstitution in artificial membranes. After expression in transfected cells, it endows these cells with a calcium-dependent release mechanism displaying cle

The importance of glial cells in controlling the neuronal microenvironment has been increasingly recognized. We now demonstrate that glial cells play an integral role in hippocampal synaptic transmission by using the glial-specific metabolic blocker fluoroacetate (FAC) to selectively inhibit glial c

## Abstract Astrocytes play a critical role in brain homeostasis controlling the local environment in normal as well as in pathological conditions, such as during hypoxic/ischemic insult. Since astrocytes have recently been identified as a source for a wide variety of gliotransmitters that modulate

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
