Cerebral function depends on the transmission of chemical signals between neuronal elements at synapses. Over the last two decades, accumulating data have shown that this fundamental process is regulated by astrocytes. Among other functions, astrocytes participate in the clearance of ions and neurotransmitters. In addition, these glial cells release gliotransmitters to regulate synaptic functions such as basal synaptic transmission and long-term synaptic plasticity. Clearance and gliotransmission are not the only ways through which astrocytes influence neuronal communication. One interesting b
