Contents: Neuronal glutamate release -- Increases astrocytic intracellular Ca2+ -- Coordinates astrocytic network activity -- Activates astrocytic plasma membrane glutamate transporters -- Ca2+-dependent glutamate release from astrocytes -- Increases neuronal intracellular Ca2+ -- Evokes a slow inward current in neurons -- Increases neuronal excitability -- Modulates spontaneous and evoked synaptic transmission -- Promotes neuronal synchronization -- Causes long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission.
