The Other Brain: How Glial Cells Help Us Think

Presented by Dr. Eric Newman, Neuroscientist at the University of Minnesota

The brain is composed of two types of cells, neurons and glial cells. Neurons generate electrical signals and communicate with each other by releasing chemicals at synapses. Glial cells dont do these things and, for the past century, were thought to be unimportant support cells. Recent experiments, however, have shown that glial cells actively participate in such essential brain functions as regulating synaptic signaling, forming new memories, and controlling the delivery of nutrients to active brain areas. Join us to learn about glial cells, the other brain.
