Formal Research Topic – All nervous system cells are glia, neurons are a type of glia

What’s in a name?

Defining neurons as the primary nervous system cell type before we had any idea how they function has derailed nearly a century of study.

Transcriptonomic analysis demonstrates that neurons come from the same glial progenitor cells as all other nervous system cells.

Functional analysis demonstrates that neurons are placed and shaped by glia, are metabolically dependent on glia, and require astrocyte interaction to signal.
