This is the home of the Volterra lab, where we study the bidirectional communication between astrocytes and their synaptic partners.

We wanted to follow up on our recent @Nature publication by describing the key findings and thanking author contributions. Also, we wanted to thank everyone who re-tweeted/shared our story and helped its spread... nature.altmetric.com/details…
In fig 3, we show that vesicular glutamate transporter KO in astrocytes alters LTP, contextual memory & seizure parameters - indicating astrocyte glutamate release contributes to these processes. Thanks to @adaledonne, Roberta de Ceglia, @kennethd_harris, Giovanni Carriero.

In fig 4, we show that, in the nigrostriatal circuit, vesicular glutamate transporter KO in astrocytes augments synaptic excitation of dopaminergic neurons and their ability to release dopamine in vivo. Thanks to @adaledonne, Emanuele Latagliata & @mercurinb.
