The Other Brain

R. Douglas Fields, PhD. turns upside down the previous understanding of how the brain in wired. The old idea of neuron-to-neuron connection and glial cell support as the ironclad backbone of how we “think” is now just one part of a much larger picture. Glial cells, the “other brain” as it turns out are intimately involved in ratcheting up or down neural channels.  The brain, long thought to be absent totipotentiality, has plasticity and the ability for new neurons after injury.  The mystery of why, after injury, peripheral axons can reconnect, but CNS axons cannot has been solved.
