Channel-mediated astrocytic glutamate release via Bestrophin-1 targets synaptic NMDARs

BACKGROUND: Astrocytes regulate neuronal excitability and synaptic activity by releasing gliotransmitters such as glutamate. Our recent study demonstrated that astrocytes release glutamate upon GPCR activation via Ca(2+) activated anion channel, Bestrophin-1 (Best1). The target of Best1-mediated ast...
