Activity-Dependent Plasticity of Astroglial Potassium and Glutamate Clearance

Recent evidence has shown that astrocytes play essential roles in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Nevertheless, how neuronal activity alters astroglial functional properties and whether such properties also display specific forms of plasticity still remain elusive. Here, we review research fin...
