Modulation of synaptic plasticity by glutamatergic gliotransmission: A modeling study
Maurizio De Pittà, Nicolas Brunel
Glutamatergic gliotransmission, that is the release of glutamate from perisynaptic astrocyte processes in an activity-dependent manner, has emerged as a potentially crucial signali…
Astrocytes: orchestrating synaptic plasticity?
Maurizio De Pittà, Nicolas Brunel, Andrea Volterra
Synaptic plasticity is the capacity of a preexisting connection between two neurons to change in strength as a function of neural activity. Because synaptic plasticity is the major…
A tale of two stories: astrocyte regulation of synaptic depression and facilitation
Maurizio De Pittà, Vladislav Volman, Hugues Berry +1
Short-term presynaptic plasticity designates variations of the amplitude of synaptic information transfer whereby the amount of neurotransmitter released upon presynaptic stimulati…
Nonlinear gap junctions enable long-distance propagation of pulsating calcium waves in astrocyte networks
Mati Goldberg, Maurizio De Pittà, Vladislav Volman +2
A new paradigm has recently emerged in brain science whereby communications between glial cells and neuron-glia interactions should be considered together with neurons and their ne…
Glutamate regulation of calcium and IP3 oscillating and pulsating dynamics in astrocytes
Maurizio De Pitta`, Mati Goldberg, Vladislav Volman +2
Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in neuron-glia communication. This interest stems from the realization that glia participates in cognitive functions and informat…
Coexistence of amplitude and frequency modulations in intracellular calcium dynamics
Maurizio De Pitta, Vladislav Volman, Herbert Levine +3
The complex dynamics of intracellular calcium regulates cellular responses to information encoded in extracellular signals. Here, we study the encoding of these external signals in…
