Glial Ca2+ Signaling Links Endocytosis to K+ Buffering around Neuronal Somas to Regulate Excitability

Shirley Weiss, Jan E. Melom, Kiel G. Ormerod…·J. Troy Littleton

This study shows that glial Ca2+ signaling regulates neuronal excitability through K+ buffering via calcineurin-dependent endocytosis and K2P channel expression in Drosophila.
