Temperature-dependent changes in astrocyte transporter currents. A, Outside-out patch removed from an astrocyte located in stratum radiatum of area CA1. Solid lines in A and B are the control responses recorded at room temperature, and dotted linesare the responses of the same patch recorded at 36°C.Inset, Response at 36°C has been scaled to that in control and shown at a faster time base to illustrate the time course of the two responses. B, Response of a different patch to d-aspartate (10 mm). Tracesare illustrated as in A. Traces are averages of 8–12 consecutive responses recorded at −90 mV. KSCN-based internal solution. The open tip response above eachtrace indicates the duration of the agonist application.
