Infos

This exhaustive work covers all aspects of the role of glial cells in the nervous system, including glial morphology, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, pathology and the involvement of these cells in the pathophysiology of neurological diseases.

---

The idea that glial cells only provide a "scaffolding" for the nervous system has been superceded by research which proves that these cells play crucial roles in transmission and regulation. This is the definitive work covering all aspects of the role of the glial cells in the nervous system. Aspects of the glial covered include their involvement in the pathophysiology of neurological diseases, mechanisms of cell-to-cell communication, glia as part of the immune system,neuron-glia interactions, and the role of glia in injury and regeneration.
