Transitions of tonic inhibition in cerebellar granule cells during adolescence. Astrocyte-released GABA (green) increases, spillover GABA (red) from inhibitory neurons (Golgi cells) decreases, while GABA uptake by transporters (blue) becomes more effective. A set point voltage (reversal potential) for GABA-activated inhibitory current decreases, enhancing GABA’s inhibitory action.
