This volume is made up of papers presented at the Second
International Altschul Symposium: Biology and Pathology of
Astrocyte-Neuron Interactions. The symposium was held in Saskatoon,
Canada at the University of Saskatchewn in May, 1992 in memory of
Rudolf Altschul, a graduate of the University of Prague and a
pioneer in the fields of the biology of the vascular and nervous
systems. Dr. Altschul was Professor and Head of the Department of
Anatomy at the University of Saskatchewan from 1955 to 1963. The
Altschul Symposia were made possible by an endowment left by Anni
Altschul and by other contributions. The symposia are held
biennially. One of the greatest challenges for present day
scientists is to uncover the mechanisms of brain function. Although
cellular anatomy of the nervous system has already been well
outlined and indeed was delineated by the beginning of the century,
experimental analysis of the function of the brain is relatively
recent. The framework of the brain is made up of stellate cells,
the astrocytes, which are interconnected by means of their
processes, thus presenting a meshwork through which the neurons
send their axons, accompanied by oligodendrocytes. Microglia are
distributed throughout the brain.
