The nematode C. elegans is one of the most important model
organisms for understanding neurobiology. Its completely mapped
neural connectome of 302 neurons and fully characterized and
stereotyped development have made it a prototype for understanding
nervous system structure, development, and function. Fifty-six out
of C. elegans' total of 959 somatic cells are classified as
neuroglia. Although research on worm glia has lagged behind studies
focused on neurons, there has been a steep upswing in interest
during the past decade. Information arising from the recent burst
of research on worm glia supports the idea that C. elegans will
continue to be an important animal model for understanding glial
cell biology. Since the developmental lineage of all cells was
mapped, each glial cell in C. elegans is known by a specific name
and has research associated with it. We list and describe the glia
of the hermaphrodite form of C. elegans and summarize research
findings relating to each glial cell. We hope this lecture provides
an informative overview of worm glia to accompany the excellent and
freely available online resources available to the worm research
community.
