GABA<sub>A</sub> increases calcium in subventricular zone astrocyte-like cells through L- and T-type voltage-gated calcium channels

In the adult neurogenic subventricular zone (SVZ), the behavior of astrocyte-like cells and some of their functions depend on changes in intracellular Ca2+ levels and tonic GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor activation. However, it is unknown whether, and if so how, GABA<sub>A</sub> r...
