Dynamic Volume Changes in Astrocytes Are an Intrinsic Phenomenon Mediated by Bicarbonate Ion Flux

Astrocytes, the major type of non-neuronal cells in the brain, play an important functional role in extracellular potassium ([K(+)](o)) and pH homeostasis. Pathological brain states that result in [K(+)](o) and pH dysregulation have been shown to cause astrocyte swelling. However, whether astrocyte...
