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
Our view of glial function has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. For much of the past century, glial cells were believed to have little influence on neuronal responses. Glia were thought to provide structural and metabolic support to neurons, but not to interact actively with them. Recent
