Pathological potential of neuroglia : possible new targets for medical intervention / Vladimir Parpura, Alexei Verkhratsky, editors.
"Pathophysiological states, neurological and psychiatric diseases are almost universally considered from the neurocentric point of view, with neurons being the principal cellular element of pathological process. The brain homeostasis, which lies at the fulcrum of healthy brain function, the com...
