Glia make up most of the cells in the brain, yet until recently they were believed to have only a passive, supporting role. It is now becoming increasingly clear that these cells have other functions: they make crucial contributions to the formation, operation and adaptation of neural circuitry.

Glia: Regulating Synaptogenesis from Multiple Directions
The Function of Glial Cells in the Neuroinflammatory and Neuroimmunological Responses
The historical concept of glia just as the glue of brain tissue has been challenged by the accumulation of concrete evidence showing the multifunctional role of these cells during development and in…
Neurons and Plasticity: What Do Glial Cells Have to Do with This?
TLDR
Computational investigations of neural-glial signaling and their impact on synaptic plasticity and spiking neural network dynamics has been sorely lacking and it is the authors’ aspiration that this will inspire future researcher to investigate the complex interactions between neurons and glial cells.
Artifact Versus Reality—How Astrocytes Contribute to
TLDR
It is proposed that the primary function of perisynaptic glial processes is to create an ‘‘astroglial cradle’’ that shields the synapse from a multitude of extrasynaptic signaling events and provides for multifaceted support and long-term plasticity of synaptic contacts through variety of mechanisms, which may not necessarily involve the release of “‘glio”’ transmitters.
Astrocytes as Mediators of Integration Processes in the Brain
TLDR
The concept of the integrating mission of astroglia opens up new opportunities for understanding the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and identifying new targets for therapy.
Müller glia provide essential tensile strength to the developing retina
When the formation of Müller glia is inhibited in the zebrafish retina, a major consequence is that the retina begins to rip apart due to a loss of the mechanical resilience that these glial cells…

What are the functional units of the brain? If the function of the brain is to process information-carrying signals, then the functional units will be the senders and receivers of those signals.…
Artifact versus reality—How astrocytes contribute to synaptic events
TLDR
It is proposed that the primary function of perisynaptic glial processes is to create an “astroglial cradle” that shields the synapse from a multitude of extrasynaptic signaling events and provides for multifaceted support and long‐term plasticity of synaptic contacts through variety of mechanisms, which may not necessarily involve the release of “glio” transmitters.

TLDR
New insights herald the concept that astrocytes represent a diverse population of genetically tractable cells that mediate neural circuit–specific roles in health and disease.

Axon-glial signaling and the glial support of axon function.
TLDR
Mutations in the mouse reveal that axonal support by oligodendrocytes is independent of myelin assembly, suggesting that loss of glial support causes progressive axon degeneration and possibly local inflammation, both of which are likely to contribute to a variety of neuronal diseases in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Astrocyte control of synaptic transmission and neurovascular coupling.
TLDR
The application of subcellular imaging of Ca2+ signaling to astrocytes now provides functional data to support this structural notion that both excitatory and inhibitory signals provided by the same glial cell act in concert to regulate neuronal function.
