Evidence for neurons communicating with glia is solid, but the signaling pathway leading back from glial-to-neuronal activity was often difficult to study. Here, we introduced a transgenic mouse line in which channelrhodopsin-2, a light-gated cation channel, was expressed in astrocytes. Selective photostimulation of these astrocytes in vivo triggered neuronal activation. Using slice preparations, we show that glial photostimulation leads to release of glutamate, which was sufficient to activate AMPA receptors on Purkinje cells and to induce long-term depression of parallel fiber-to-Purkinje cell synapses through activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors. In contrast to neuronal synaptic vesicular release, glial activation likely causes preferential activation of extrasynaptic receptors that appose glial membrane. Finally, we show that neuronal activation by glial stimulation can lead to perturbation of cerebellar modulated motor behavior. These findings demonstrate that glia can modulate the tone of neuronal activity and behavior. This animal model is expected to be a potentially powerful approach to study the role of glia in brain function."}],"volume":109,"publist_id":"4424","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:57:43Z","status":"public","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:57:54Z","author":[{"full_name":"Sasaki, Takuya","first_name":"Takuya","last_name":"Sasaki"},{"first_name":"Kaoru","last_name":"Beppu","full_name":"Beppu, Kaoru"},{"full_name":"Tanaka, Kenji F","last_name":"Tanaka","first_name":"Kenji"},{"first_name":"Yugo","last_name":"Fukazawa","full_name":"Fukazawa, Yugo"},{"full_name":"Ryuichi Shigemoto","id":"499F3ABC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-8761-9444","first_name":"Ryuichi","last_name":"Shigemoto"},{"full_name":"Matsui, Ko","first_name":"Ko","last_name":"Matsui"}],"publication_status":"published","issue":"50","publication":"PNAS","_id":"2477","type":"journal_article","doi":"10.1073/pnas.1213458109","page":"20720 - 20725"}
