Glia–Neuron Interactions

Year: 2012

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Overall, the evidence reviewed in this chapter indicates a complex interaction between glia and neurons in postlesional epilepsies, depicting a scenario similar to that found when analyzing the role of glial cells in the recovery from brain damage. Indeed, astrocytes may exert both pro-epileptogenic and anti-epileptogenic roles through (1) indirect modulation of neuronal function via release of inflammatory cytokines and neurosteroids, or by altering neurotransmitter release, and (2) by directly influencing neuronal activity via release of gliotransmitters.
