Hippocampal Short- and Long-Term Plasticity Are Not Modulated by Astrocyte Ca 2+ Signaling

Agulhon, Cendra, Fiacco, Todd A., McCarthy, Ken D.·2010·Science

Abstract

Reexamining Glial Function: In the last 20 years glial cells have been elevated from being considered as passive elements during neuronal transmission. By eliciting astroglial calcium rises, so-called gliotransmitters such as glutamate, ATP, or d -serine can be released and the activity of neighboring neurons modulated. However, this emerging picture has been challenged. Agulhon et al. (p. 1250 ; see the Perspective by Kirchhoff ) reexamined these questions using two previously characterized mouse models. Calcium elevations induced selectively in astrocytes caused no change in multiple measures of synaptic activity. Furthermore, in mutant mice unable to elevate intracellular calcium, all synaptic measures were at wild-type levels. Astrocytic calcium signaling activity was thus not tied to the release of gliotransmitters and didn't affect synaptic transmission, short and long-term synaptic plasticity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
