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.
