Figure 3From: Synaptically evoked glutamate transporter currents in Spinal Dorsal Horn Astrocytes Glutamate transporter currents recorded in spinal astrocytes reflect the intensity of synaptic activation. A-B, the amplitude of glutamate transporter currents recorded in a spinal astrocyte increases as the intensity of dorsal root entry zone stimulus increases (n = 14). The current reaches the maximal amplitude with 4 or 5 times threshold (T). C, normalization of responses in A to the same amplitude shows the same time course of each response.Back to article page
