Adenosine is a neuromodulator that regulates neurotransmission in the brain and central nervous system. Recently, spontaneous adenosine release that is cleared in 3–4 sec was discovered in mouse spinal cord slices and anesthetized rat brains.
Adenosine modulates neurotransmission in the brain and is neuroprotective during stressful conditions, such as ischemia and hypoxia.
