It is now established that neuroglia are the intimate partners of
neurons and that neuronal function is a result of neuron-glia
interrelations at several levels of organization. The literature
shows that the study of phylogeny has contributed a deeper
understand- ing of the complex functions of the neuroglia and the
neuron-glia unit. It is the purpose of Neuron-Glia Interrelations
During Phylog- eny: I. Phylogeny and Ontogeny of Glial Cells, as
well as its compan- ion volume Neuron-Glia Interrelations During
Phylogeny: II. Plasticity and Regeneration, to present to the
scientific community a broad spectrum of information on neuroglia
through phylog- eny and ontogeny, the focus of this volume. In view
of the role of neuroglia in plasticity and regeneration, the
companion volume will cover this aspect of neuroglia during
phylogeny. Neuron-Glia Interrelations During Phylogeny: I.
Phylogeny and Ontogeny of Glial Cells begins with the elegant
chapter "Glial Types, Gliogenesis, and Extracellular Matrix in
Mammalian CNS" by Amico Bignami, to whom this volume is dedicated.
He was one of the pioneers in describing gliogenesis and this
chapter brings together everything we know today on this critical
topic. It also includes the latest views of Bignami on the role of
extracellular matrix in gliogenesis and glial functions. "Evolution
of Astrocytes in the Vertebrate CNS" by Suarez et al. complements
and extends the information in Bignami's chapter by including
ependymal astrocytes.
