    AnnotationThese results demonstrate that activation of astroglial ionotropic NMDA and P2X1/5 receptors increases intracellular free calcium in cortical astrocytes when stimulated by endogenous agonists and synaptic release of neurotransmitters. These data suggest contribution of NMDA and P2X1/5 receptors to astroglial calcium signalling, which may provide a specific mechanism for fast neuronal-glial signalling at the synaptic level.
