Publisher Correction: Glial responses to implanted electrodes in the brain

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Molecular Biology
• Cellular Signaling

Background:

• Glutamate and purinergic signaling are critical neurotransmitter systems.
• Dysregulation of these systems is implicated in various neurological disorders.
• Accurate representation of molecular interactions is essential for understanding disease mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

• To correct inaccuracies in a previously published Review Article figure.
• To ensure the precise depiction of glutamate and purinergic P2 receptor interactions.
• To provide an updated and accurate resource for researchers in neuroscience.

Main Methods:

• Review of original publication figures.
• Identification of labeling and directional errors in Figure 4b.
• Correction and updating of the figure in all versions of the Review Article.

Main Results:

• The original Figure 4b contained a duplicated 'Glutamate' label.
• A crucial arrow indicating the interaction between a purinergic P2 receptor and a glutamate transporter was missing.
• The figure has been revised to accurately reflect these molecular relationships.

Conclusions:

• The corrected figure provides a more accurate representation of neurotransmitter signaling pathways.
• This ensures clarity and precision in the scientific literature.
• Updated figures are vital for advancing research in neuroscience and related fields.
