## Abstract This article reviews calcium signaling in three specialized types of glial cells: Mรผller cells of the retina, Bergmann glial cells of the cerebellum, and radial glial cells of the developing cortex. Mรผller cells generate spontaneous and neuronal activityโevoked increases in Ca^2+^. Neur

## Abstract Calcium signaling studies in invertebrate glial cells have been performed mainly in the nervous systems of the medicinal leech (__Hirudo medicinalis__) and the sphinx moth __Manduca sexta__. The main advantages of studing glial cells in invertebrate nervous systems are the large size of
Migration of glial cells is an essential step in the development of the antennal lobe, the primary olfactory center of insects, to establish well-defined borders between olfactory glomeruli required for odor discrimination. In the present study, we used two-photon microscopy to visualize calcium sig
## Abstract Glial cells are widely dispersed in the central nervous system (CNS) as well as in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In the PNS, perisynaptic Schwann cells (PSCs) are the glial cells associated with the preโ and postsynaptic elements of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). They, as othe
## Abstract Neurosteroids, such as progesterone, influence central nervous system development and function by regulating a broad spectrum of physiological processes. Here, we investigated membraneโinitiated actions of progesterone in the retina and identified the membraneโassociated progesterone re
