      abstract     = {Glial cell processes are part of the synaptic structure and
                      sense spillover of transmitter, while some glial cells can
                      even receive direct synaptic input. Here, we report that a
                      defined type of glial cell in the medial nucleus of the
                      trapezoid body (MNTB) receives excitatory glutamatergic
                      synaptic input from the calyx of Held (CoH). This giant
                      glutamatergic terminal forms an axosomatic synapse with a
                      single principal neuron located in the MNTB. The NG2 glia,
                      as postsynaptic principal neurons, establish synapse-like
                      structures with the CoH terminal. In contrast to the
                      principal neurons, which are known to receive excitatory as
                      well as inhibitory inputs, the NG2 glia receive mostly, if
                      not exclusively,
                      alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionic acid
                      receptor-mediated evoked and spontaneous synaptic input.
                      Simultaneous recordings from neurons and NG2 glia indicate
                      that they partially receive synchronized spontaneous input.
                      This shows that an NG2(+) glial cell and a postsynaptic
                      neuron share presynaptic terminals.},
