Got Glials?
Well all of you hopefully remember reading in your text about the Neuron & how it fires electrical impulses. Guess what? They are not the only exciting part of the brain (sorry! Ha!)
If you look at this small piece in the current issue of Scientific American Mind (June/July) you'll read researchers from Stanford University have found that some Glial Cells (page 45 & 559 in your text) also fire electrical impulses & may keep our brain cells healthy!
