Recent results show that certain neurons and glia are connected by gap junctions, and that neurons can regulate gap-junctional communication by glia. The findings are inspiring a major reexamination of the role of glia in the regulation of neuronal integration in the central nervous system.
最近的研究结果表明,某些神经元和神经胶质细胞通过缝隙连接相连,并且神经元可以通过神经胶质细胞调节缝隙连接通讯。这些发现正促使人们对神经胶质细胞在中枢神经系统神经元整合调节中的作用进行重大重新审视。
