An astrocytic AMPAR-dependent parity signal preserves synaptic strength

Nimrod Elazar, J. Russell Ravenel, Jinhu Kim, Trisha Vaidyanathan, Brenda C. Shields, Olivia M. Wirfel, Kunihiro Uryu, Shaun S.X. Lim, James M. Roach, Weizhan Zhang, Xiangyu Cao, Micah E. van Praag, Haidun Yan, Guoqiang Yu, Michael R. Tadross, Çağla Eroğlu

The paper shows that astrocytic AMPAR inhibition in mouse striatal projection neurons converts glutamatergic activity into long-term depression, suggesting astrocytic glutamate sensing stabilizes synaptic strength.
