Abstract(in English) Recently the participation of glial cells to neuronal information processing had been suggested. A kind of glial cells, astrocytes possess metabotropic glutamate receptor, so that the involvement of glial cells in neuronal information processing in brain can be considered. In the present paper, using our PLC8 model that is the model on the astrocytic intracellular Ca^<2+> concentration ([Ca^<2+>]i) oscillation involving type 1 IP3 receptor, we investigated astrocytic [Ca^<2+>]i responses by the various patterns of glutamate (Glu) stimulation. Quasi-periodic responses and chaotic responses were observed and caused by the repetitive stimulation of Glu. These results suggested that astrocytic [Ca^<2+>]i responses are modulated by the firing patterns of the neurons.
