what is basal transmission
Comment in Cell. 2011 Sep 2;146(5):675-7. Basal synaptic transmission involves the release of neurotransmitters at individual synapses in response to a single action potential. Recent discoveries show that astrocytes modulate the activity of neuronal networks upon sustained and intense synaptic activity.strocytes are endogenous regulators of basal transmission at central synapses.
