Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) serve as the primary mechanism for limiting the action of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in the central nervous system. In the brain, EAATs remove glutamate from the synaptic cleft and extracellular region by mediating glutamate uptake into neurons and glial cells. In this study, we compared physiological roles of neuronal and glial EAATs in the control of extrasynaptic diffusion of glutamate in rat and mouse cerebellar slice preparations.
