Changes in firing pattern often involve particular ion channels an d are intimately related to the function of the circuit. Our recent work s hows how astrocytes\, astrocytic coupling and the astrocytic calcium-bindi ng protein\, S100b\, and modulate Na+ currents by regulating the extracell ular Ca2 + concentration and determine the neuronal firing pattern in brai nstem and cortical circuits. \n\nThe F.C.
