The role of Bergmann glial cells in cerebellar development
Correspondence A response to Gershon et al. : Hexokinase-2-mediated aerobic glycolysis is integral to cerebellar neurogenesis and pathogenesis of meduloblastoma. Cancer and Metabolism 2013, 1(2):17 Gershon et al. [1] have investigated the role that Hexokinase-2 (Hk2) plays in the control of aerobic glycolysis during cerebellar neurogenesis and pathogenesis of medulloblastoma. They conclude from...
متن کاملConnexin43 and Bergmann Glial Gap Junctions in Cerebellar Function
Connexin43 (Cx43), a major component of astrocytic gap junctions, is abundantly expressed in Bergmann glial cells (BGCs) in the cerebellum, but the function of Cx43 in BGCs is largely unknown. BGCs are specialized astrocytes closely associated with Purkinje cells. Here, we review our recent studies of the role of Cx43 in gap junctional coupling between BGCs and in cerebellar function. We genera...
متن کاملReappraisal of Bergmann glial cells as modulators of cerebellar circuit function
Just as there is a huge morphological and functional diversity of neuron types specialized for specific aspects of information processing in the brain, astrocytes have equally distinct morphologies and functions that aid optimal functioning of the circuits in which they are embedded. One type of astrocyte, the Bergmann glial cell (BG) of the cerebellum, is a prime example of a highly diversifie...
متن کاملElectrical synapses between Bergmann glial cells and Purkinje neurones in rat cerebellar slices.
In the present study, we directly demonstrated electrical coupling between Bergmann glial cells (BG) and Purkinje neurones (PN) in acutely isolated cerebellar slices, prepared from 15 to 30 days old Sprague-Dawley rats. Electrical coupling between these two cells was identified by dual whole-cell voltage clamp, which allowed direct recording of junctional current. Whole-cell recordings from PN-...
