• Physiological roles of aquaporin-4 in brain. (2013, background): “1 is close to the membrane resting potential, allowing for efflux as well as influx depending on the local [K ]o (80, 136).”
• New functions of Müller cells (2013, background): “A major functional role of Müller cells is the control of osmotic and ionic homeostasis, mediated by transglial ion and water transport (Bringmann et al., 2004, 2006; Kofuji and Newman, 2004; Nagelhus et al., 2004).”
• Cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying blood flow regulation in the retina choroid in health disease (2012, positive): “A Kþ-driven vasodilation could be mediated by an efflux of Kþ from glial cells, a mechanism termed Kþ siphoning (Paulson and Newman, 1987; Kofuji and Newman, 2004; Filosa et al., 2006).”
• The Impact of Astrocytic Gap Junctional Coupling on Potassium Buffering in the Hippocampus (2006, background): “Astrocytic K buffering Many groups have produced evidence in favor of net uptake of K or spatial buffering, which could coexist and vary in different brain regions (Ransom, 1996; Walz, 2000b; Kofuji and Newman, 2004).”
• Physiology of Astroglia. (2018, neutral): “The initial concept (892, 1276, 1843) of astroglial spatial K buffering postulated that K enters glia through plasmalemmal K channels; subsequently, K ions are redistributed through glial syncytium via gap junctions and released distantly.”
• Diffusion in Brain Extracellular Space (2008, positive): “The first problem was the assumption that K would diffuse only through the ECS, whereas it is now established that this ion rapidly enters brain cells by a variety of mechanisms (8, 169).”
