tlooto Summary

Key findings on the mechanisms of glial contributions to synapse nano-organization are reviewed and how different glial cells contribute to the development and homeostasis of synapses through distinct cellular and molecular pathways in both health and disease are discussed.

Abstract

Glia, which are nonneuronal cells in the central nervous system, include astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocyte lineage cells. Historically, their passive roles in maintaining central nervous system function—such as supplying substrates for neuronal energy,...
