Neurons release glutamate into synaptic cleft<br />
Astrocytes reduce glutamate to glutamine and release back into synaptic<br />
cleft<br />
Taken back up by neuron and reused<br />
NADH is important in the conversion of glutamate to glutamine<br />
With disruption to the Na/K pump, enzyme activity reduced and ammonium<br />
accumulates in the astrocyte<br />
Glutamate accumulates, exerts its excitatory effect, <strong>cells</strong> run out of energy<br />
