Importance of astrocytes for potassium ion (K+) homeostasis in brain and glial effects of K+ and its transporters on learning

L Hertz, Y Chen - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
Initial clearance of extracellular K+([K+] o) following neuronal excitation occurs by astrocytic
uptake, because elevated [K+] o activates astrocytic but not neuronal Na+, K+-ATPases …

T Du, D Song, H Li, B Li, L Cai, L Hertz… - European journal of …, 2008 - Elsevier
Vasopressin acts on astrocytic Gq protein-and phospholipase C-coupled V1 receptors. In
mesangial cells, which also express the V1 receptor, it stimulates cell growth by activating …
