## Abstract The possibility that astrocytes are involved in brain signaling began to emerge in the late 1970s, when it was first shown that astroglia __in vitro__ possess numerous receptors for neurotransmitters. It was later demonstrated that cultured astroglia and astrocytes __in situ__ respond t

## Abstract The extracellular concentrations of Ca^2+^ and Mg^2+^ are well known to play important roles in the function of the central nervous system. We examined the effects of extracellular Ca^2+^ and Mg^2+^ on ATP release and intercellular signaling in astrocytes. The extent of propagation of i
The protease thrombin seems to play a central role in events following neural injury, whereby the enzyme can act, in concert with other molecules as a hormone or as a growth factor. In cells derived from the nervous system, thrombin induces changes in morphology and proliferation. The signalling mec
