From: Synaptically evoked glutamate transporter currents in Spinal Dorsal Horn Astrocytes
Glutamate transporter currents in spinal astrocytes evoked by dorsal root entry zone stimulation with different frequencies. A, glial transporter currents gradually reduced during repetitive stimulation at 3 different frequencies. Transporter currents were reduced to a greater degree with higher frequency of stimulation. B, representative responses of glial transporter currents evoked by stimulation with different frequencies, the response to the first ("1") and twentieth ("20") stimuli are displayed. All responses were from the same cell and represented averages of 5 trials. C, comparison of time courses between responses to the 1st and 20th stimuli shown in panel B, normalized to the same amplitude. Note that the response to the 20th stimulus showed similar kinetic characteristics when compared to the response to the 1st stimulus.
