The idea of a metabolic coupling between neurons and astrocytes in the brain has been entertained for about 100 years. The use recently of simple and well-compartmentalized nervous systems, such as the honeybee retina or purified preparations of neurons and glia, provided strong support for a nutrit

## Abstract Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) accompany receptor axons in the olfactory nerve and promote axonal growth into the central nervous system. The mechanisms underlying the communication between axons and OECs, however, have not been studied in detail yet. We investigated the effect of a
Expression of the genes that encode neurofilament proteins is considered to be confined normally to neurons. However, in demyelinating peripheral nerves Schwann cells upregulate the mRNA for the mediumsized neurofilament protein (NF-M), and cultured Schwann cells of the myelin-forming phenotype can
We sought to describe quantitatively the morphological and functional changes that occur in the dentate gyrus of kainate-treated rats, an experimental model of temporal lobe epilepsy. Adult rats were treated systemically with kainic acid, and, months later, after displaying spontaneous recurrent mot
