in the brain pared to the number of neurons. Glia are different from neurons: Nerve Cells Neurons, Glia, Extracellular Space, and Blood Bidirectional Communication Partners in the CNS ? Receiving signals from neighboring neurons and responding to them with release of neuroactive substances ? Express receptors for almost all neurotransmitters and neuromodulators ? Increase of intracellular calcium concentration ? Membrane depolarization in astrocytes are mon responses to neural activity ? Metabolically coupled to neural activity Metabolism of Astrocytes and their Metabolic Cooperation with Neurons ? Glucose ? Amino acid metabolism ? Enzymes: ? glutamine synthetase(glutamateglutamine cycle)。?
