Neuroscience: Glia — more than just brain glue
@article{Allen2009NeuroscienceG, title={Neuroscience: Glia — more than just brain glue}, author={N. J. Allen and B. Barres}, journal={Nature}, year={2009}, volume={457}, pages={675-677} }
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.
