Abstract
Astrocytes release glutamate, which can modulate nearby synapses, but how this release is accomplished remains debated. In this issue of Neuron, Yang et al. (2019) show that the volume-regulated anion channel Swell1 in astrocytes mediates the release of glutamate and impacts synaptic transmission, learning and memory, and neurotoxicity.
