Diversity of synaptic astrocyte –neuron signaling

< h3 class= " a-plus-plus " > Abstract < /h3 > < p class= " a-plus-plus " > Fast signal exchange between neurons and astrocytes at the synaptic level has attracted considerable attention. Astrocytes often respond with Ca < sup class= " a-plus-plus " > 2+ < /sup > transients to widely different neuronal synaptic activity. At the same time, astrocyte Ca < sup class= " a-plus-plus " > 2+ < /sup > elevations trigger profound and diverse changes of both excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission. Here, we briefly review examples of the heterogeneity of Ca < sup class= " a-plus-plus " > 2+ < /sup > -dependent astrocyte –neuron communication in the rodent hippocampus and discuss mechanisms that could maintain specificity of synaptic astrocyte–neuron signaling in the face of its diversity. < /p >
