Astrocyte calcium waves propagate proximally by gap junction and distally by extracellular diffusion of ATP released from volume-regulated anion channels

Wave-like propagation of [Ca(2+)](i) increases is a remarkable intercellular communication characteristic in astrocyte networks, intercalating neural circuits and vasculature. Mechanically-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increases and their subsequent propagation to neighboring astrocytes in culture is a classi...
