Oxford University Press Neuroglia

The idea that glial cells only provide a "scaffolding" for the nervous system has been superceded by research which proves that these cells play crucial roles in transmission and regulation. This is the definitive work covering all aspects of the role of the glial cells in the nervous system. Aspects of the glial covered include their involvement in the pathophysiology of neurological diseases, mechanisms of cell-to-cell communication, glia as part of the immune system,neuron-glia interactions, and the role of glia in injury and regeneration.
