摘要
In the central nervous system,purinergic signaling plays an important role in maintaining the functions of neurons,astrocytes,and microglia,thereby regulating brain homeostasis,with consequences for higher-order cognitive processes[1].ATP released from astrocytes in conjunction with several additional signaling molecules modulates neuronal circuits.
