GABA uptake into astrocytes is not associated with significant metabolic cost: Implications for brain imaging of inhibitory transmission

Synaptically released glutamate has been identified as a signal coupling excitatory neuronal activity to increased glucose utilization. The proposed mechanism of this coupling involves glutamate uptake into astrocytes resulting in increased intracellular Na(+) (Na(i)(+)) and activation of the Na(+)/...
