The Astrocyte-Derived α7 Nicotinic Receptor Antagonist Kynurenic Acid Controls Extracellular Glutamate Levels in the Prefrontal Cortex

The cognitive deficits seen in schizophrenia patients are likely related to abnormal glutamatergic and cholinergic neurotransmission in the prefrontal cortex. We hypothesized that these impairments may be secondary to increased levels of the astrocyte-derived metabolite kynurenic acid (KYNA), which...
