Our view of glial function has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. For much of the past century, glial cells were believed to have little influence on neuronal responses. Glia were thought to provide structural and metabolic support to neurons, but not to interact actively with them. Recent
A lesion limited to the dorsal columns, at the level of L3-L4, was carried out in chronic cats. This operation produced a "partial axotomy" type of lesion on the ascending branches of Ia hind limb afferents. Two to six months after this operation, intracellular studies on L7-S1 motoneurons were carr
Synapsins I and I1 are a family of synaptic vesicleassociated phosphoproteins involved in the short-term regulation of neurotransmitter release. In this review, we discuss a working model for the molecular mechanisms by which the synapsins act. We propose that synapsin I links synaptic vesicles to a
