Glia: A Gate Controlling Animal Behavior?

Curr Biol. 2019 Sep 9;29(17):R847-R850. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.07.058.

Abstract

Although glia are known to have the potential to alter neuronal activity, their behavioral relevance is not well understood. A recent study has discovered that, when zebrafish give up on performing a visuo-motor task, glia integrate information from neuromodulatory neurons to stop motor output.
