- Contents:
- Contents: Astroglia are the most abundant type of glial cells
- Their role has recently emerged as an active contributor to neural function
- The underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood
- Astrocytes release D-serine in a Ca2+ dependent manner
- Interference with this release reduces activation of synaptic NMDA receptors
- This in turn could severely impair induction of long-term synaptic potentiation
- Astroglia thus may play a fundamental role in mechanisms of memory formation in the brain.
