Astrocytes are a type of glial cell in the brain that help clean up neurotransmitters released by nerve cells. They uptake excess neurotransmitters like glutamate to maintain proper levels in the brain and prevent excitotoxicity. Astrocytes also regulate the extracellular environment by recycling neurotransmitters and providing support to neurons.
