Whole-cell patch clamp allows the characterization of synaptic transmission in neurons. It is possible to manipulate astrocytic activity and record how these glial cells affect neuronal networks. Here we describe the methodology to monitor the endogenously activation of astrocytes by inhibitory synaptic activity. Afterward, such glial activation will let us study the consequences of interneuron–astrocyte signaling on excitatory neurotransmission at hippocampal synapses.
