High-throughput analysis of calcium signalling kinetics in astrocytes stimulated with different neurotransmitters.

Astrocytes express a wide range of receptors for neurotransmitters and hormones that are coupled to increases in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, enabling them to detect activity in both neuronal and vascular networks. There is increasing evidence that astrocytes are able to discriminate between...
