This project investigates the role of glial cells in brain function, moving beyond their traditional view as mere support for neurons. By isolating and analyzing glial cells in their natural environment, the project aims to uncover their molecular interactions and contributions to brain health and disease.
Brain consists of two basic cell types – neurons and glia.
However, the study of glia in brain function has traditionally been neglected in favor of their more “illustrious” counter-parts – neurons that are classed as the computational units of the brain.
Glia have usually been classed as “brain glue” - a supportive matrix on which neurons grow and function.
However, recent evidence suggests that glia are more than passive “glue” and actually modulate neuronal function.
