Receptors for Neurotransmitters and Hormones

This chapter focuses on the receptors expressed by different types of glial cells for neurotransmitters and hormones. Topics discussed include astrocytes (e.g., ionotropic glutamate receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptors, gamma-aminobutyric acida receptors), oligodendrodcytes (e.g., glutamate receptors, ionotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors, purinergic receptors), and Schwann cells.
