Recent research indicates that glial cells of the hippocampus and cerebellum participate in synaptic transmission, regulate the clearance of neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft, and release gliotransmitters such as ATP, which modulate synaptic function.
Investigacións recentes descubriron que as células gliais do hipocampo e cerebelo participan na transmisión sináptica, regulan a eliminación de neurotransmisores da fenda sináptica, e liberan gliotransmisores como o ATP, que modula a función sináptica.
