Influence of the cortico-geniculate pathway on response properties of cat lateral geniculate neurons.

abstract：:Aquaporin-4 (AQP4), the prominent water channel in the brain, is particularly concentrated in astrocytic endfeet membranes lining the capillaries and the pia. This localisation pattern makes it well suited to regulate the flow of water and the homeostasis of the interstitial fluid surrounding the neurons. Using immuno...
