Contents

Glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporters play important roles in balancing excitatory and inhibitory signals in the brain. Increasing evidence suggest that they may act concertedly to regulate extracellular levels of the neurotransmitters.
Here we present evidence that glutamate uptake-induced release of GABA from astrocytes has a d...
