Title: Glial cell regulation of neurotransmission and behavior in Drosophila. Author: Jackson FR, Haydon PG. Journal: Neuron Glia Biol; 2008 Feb; 4(1):11-7. PubMed ID: 18950546. Abstract: Mounting evidence demonstrates that glial cells might have important roles in regulating the physiology and behavior of adult animals. We summarize some of this evidence here, with an emphasis on the roles of glia of the differentiated nervous system in controlling neuronal excitability, behavior and plasticity. In the review we highlight studies in Drosophila and discuss results from the analysis of mammalian astrocytes that demonstrate roles for glia in the adult nervous system.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
