Figures & data

Figure 1 Glia-blood vessel relationship in the olfactory bulb. Olfactory ensheathing cells receive input from olfactory receptor axons via extrasynaptically released ATP and glutamate in the nerve layer, while astrocytes detect synaptically released neurotransmitters in the glomerular layer. Both types of glial cells link neuronal activity to responses of blood vessels via calcium signaling (see text for details).
