Genetic Disruption of System xc- Mediated Glutamate Release from Astrocytes Increases Negative-Outcome Behaviors While Preserving Basic Brain Function in Rat

Evan M. Hess, Sara N. Kassel, Gregory J. Simandl, Nicholas J. Raddatz, Brian Maunze, Matthew M. Hurley, Michael N. Grzybowski, Jason Klotz, Aron M. Geurts, Qing-song Liu, SuJean Choi, Robert C. Twining, David L. Baker

This study shows that disrupting Sxc-mediated glutamate release from astrocytes in rats increases negative-outcome behaviors without affecting basic brain functions.
