The model consists of a pyramidal neuron’s bouton and a GABAergic single compartment interneuron from CA3 layer, and a spine of a postsynaptic CA1 pyramidal neuron and an astrocyte. The astrocyte monitors the synaptic transmission, regulates presynaptic glutamate release and is involved in the postsynaptic transmission by releasing gliotransmitters.
