Glial Neuronal Signaling fills a need for a monograph/textbook to
be used in advanced courses or graduate seminars aimed at exploring
glial-neuronal interactions. Even experts in the field will find
useful the authoritative summaries of evidence on ion channels and
transporters in glia, genes involved in signaling during
development, metabolic cross talk and cooperation between
astrocytes and neurons, to mention but a few of the timely
summaries of a wide range of glial-neuronal interactions. The
chapters are written by the top researchers in the field of
glial-neuronal signaling, and cover the most current advances in
this field. The book will also be of value to the workers in the
field of cell biology in general. When we think about the brain we
usually think about neurons. Although there are 100 billion neurons
in mammalian brain, these cells do not constitute a majority. Quite
the contrary, glial cells and other non-neuronal cells are 10-50
times more numerous than neurons. This book is meant to integrate
the emerging body of information that has been accumulating,
revealing the interactive nature of the brain's two major neural
cell types, neurons and glia, in brain function.
