Differential astroglial activation in 6-hydroxydopamine models of Parkinson's disease.

abstract：:Swelling of brain cells is one of the physiological responses associated with neuronal activation. To investigate underlying mechanisms, we analyzed interactions between changes in cell volume and synaptic responses in the hippocampal slices from rodents. Swelling within the CA1 area was detected as increases in trans...
