Plasticity of Neuron-Glial Transmission: Equipping Glia for Long-Term Integration of Network Activity

The capacity of synaptic networks to express activity-dependent changes in strength and connectivity is essential for learning and memory processes. In recent years, glial cells (most notably astrocytes) have been recognized as active participants in the modulation of synaptic transmission and synap...
