Glia, the non-neuronal cells in the nervous systems, are both
passive and active participants in diverse arrays of neuronal
function. The diversity of glial cells in various animal species
appears to be correlated with the complexity of brains. In the
animal Drosophila melanogaster, glia are similarly categorized to
their mammalian counterparts in morphology and function. Surface
glia cover the outermost surface of the brain and function as a
blood-brain-barrier to protect the nervous system. Cortex glia,
similar to mammalian astrocytes, enwrap around the neuronal cell
bodies and provide trophic support. Neuropil glia, similar to
mammalian astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, are closely associated
with the synapse-enriched neuropils and regulate synapse formation,
synaptic function, and underlie the mechanism of circuit and
behavior. This short monograph focuses on Drosophila glia,
discusses the classification of different glial subtypes and their
developmental origins, and provides an overview of different
glial-mediated activity crucial for the development and function of
the nervous system. This context serves as a general introduction
to the molecular and cellular basis of glial function in normal and
pathological brains.
