Abstract Astrocytes play pivotal roles in brain homeostasis and neuronal communication. Most astrocyte functions are orchestrated by intracellular Ca²⁺ signaling in response to neurotransmitters. Although astrocyte function has been widely studied, the ontogenetic development of their Ca²⁺ dynamics is not fully understood. This study investigated developmental changes in astrocyte Ca²⁺ signaling mediated by group I metabotropic glutamate receptors and adenosine receptors in the olfactory bulb.
