Neurons have long enjoyed a kind of rock star status. We think of them as the most fundamental units of the brain—the active cells at the heart of brain function and, ultimately, at the heart of behavior, learning, and more. But neurons are only part of the story—about half the story, it turns out. The other half of the brain is made up of cells called glia. Glia were long thought to be important structurally but not particularly exciting—basically stage-hands there to support the work of the neurons. But in recent decades, at least among neuroscientists, that view has faded. In our understanding of the brain, glia have gone from stage-hands to co-stars.   My guest today is Dr. Nicola Allen. Nicola is a molecular neuroscientist and Associate Professor at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California. She and her lab study the role of glial cells—especially astrocytes—in brain function and dysfunction.   Here, Nicola and I talk about how our understanding and appreciation of glial cells has changed. We do a bit of Brain Cells 101, reviewing the main division between neurons and glia and then sketching the subtypes within each category. We discuss the different shapes and sizes of glial cells, as well as the different functions. Glia are an industrious bunch. They're involved in synapse formation and pruning, the production of myelin, the repair of injuries, and more. We also talk about how glial cells have been implicated in various forms of brain dysfunction, from neurodegeneration to neurodevelopmental syndromes. And how, as a result, these cells are attracting serious attention as a site for therapeutic intervention.   Well, it's that time of year again folks. Applications are now open for the 2025 Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, or DISI. This is an intense program—highly interdisciplinary, highly international—for scholars and storytellers interested in all forms and facets of intelligence. If you like thinking about minds, if you like thinking about humans and animals and plants and AIs and collectives and ways they're alike and different—you would probably like DISI. For more info, check out disi.org—that's D-I-S-I dot org. Review of applications begins March 1st, so don't dally too too long.   Alright friends—on to my conversation with Dr. Nicola Allen. Enjoy!   Notes and links 3:00 – Correction: “glia” actually comes from the Greek—not the Latin—for “glue.” 3:30 – See this short primer on glia by Dr. Allen and Dr. Ben Barres. For a bit of the history of how glial cells were originally conceived, see this article on Ramón y Cajal's contributions to glia research. 10:00 – On the nascent field of “neuroimmunology,” see here. 14:00 – On the idea that “90% of brain cells are glia” see this article by (former guest) Suzana Herculano-Houzel. 18:00 – The root “oligo” in “oligodendrocyte” means “few” (and is thus the same as the “olig” in, e.g., “oligarchy"). It is not related to the “liga-” in “ligament.” 28:00 – On the idea that the glia-neuron ratio changes as brains grow more complex, see again the article by Dr. Herculano-Houzel. 30:00 – See Dr. Allen's paper on the idea of glia as “architects.” See also Dr. Allen's paper on the idea of glia as “sculptors.” 33:00 – See Dr. Allen's paper on the idea of the “tripartite synapse.” 42:00 – A recent paper reviewing the phenomenon of adult neurogenesis.  48:00 –  See Dr. Allen's recent review of the role of astrocytes in neurodegeneration. 51:30 – A recent article on the roles of APOE in Alzheimer's.   Recommendations Glia (2nd edition), edited by Beth Stevens, Kelly R.

We get a patient's perspective on healthcare from Beth Stevens in this episode of the Perspectives on Healthcare Podcast with Rob Oliver. Beth is from Indiana, Pennsylvania. She joined me for the Guinness World Record Setting patient interview marathon. I interviewed her husband Greg in episode 188. Beth has had a unique journey when it comes to healthcare. She dealt with severe allergies as a child and now, as an adult, deals with narcolepsy, PCOS and sleep apnea. This is interview 66 in the marathon. Here are 3 things that stood out as Beth Stevens shared a patient's perspective on healthcare: Healthcare Heroes are people that save lives. In Beth's experience, a pharmacist saved her life by identifying a potentially dangerous medication issue. It is extremely important to feel comfortable with your medical provider. Medical providers should strive to build rapport and a feeling of familiarity. Medical providers need to remember that patients are not all highly educated in the field of healthcare. They need to communicate simply and clearly without the use of medical jargon. Rob Oliver is “Your Keynote Speaker”, addressing quality healthcare, resilience and excellence in adversity.

Bacteria uses a clever 1-2 punch to make it through our central nervous systems defenses. The way bacteria can get through the outer layers of the meninges relies on knowing exactly what how the brain will respond to infection. Painful headaches are a key part of meningitis, but that pain response is actually opening the door for a sneak attack. Understanding how bacterial infections get into the brain will help develop new treatment pathways for meningitis. When bacteria come under attack themselves, they use signalling pathways that we can learn from. By studying the way bacteria defend themselves we could find common tools to use to precisely regulate human cells. Felipe A. Pinho-Ribeiro, Liwen Deng, Dylan V.

Beth Stevens talks about the brain cells most people have never heard of, and suggests what they might have to teach us. Beth is a neuroscientist and associate professor at Harvard Medical School, who in 2015 was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship - the so-called 'genius grant' - for her work on microglial cells. In this talk she describes the connections between her research and her own family history, and explains why these cells - for so long overlooked in favour of neurons - may be the key to understanding much about the brain we don't yet know. Producer: Giles Edwards

A diverse population of microglial cells resides in the brain. Similar to immune cells, microglial cells respond to minute changes in their environment. Sometimes this response is beneficial and other times detrimental. Scientists are working to tease apart the dynamic role of microglial response in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. In this episode, Tiffany Garbutt from The Scientist's Creative Services team spoke with Samuel Marsh, a postdoctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Beth Stevens at Boston's Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, about how he uses single cell technology and spatial transcriptomics to better understand the role of microglia in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. LabTalk is a special edition podcast produced by The Scientist Creative Services Team, where we explore topics at the leading edge of innovative research. This episode is brought to you by 10x Genomics, which builds solutions for interrogating biological systems at a resolution and scale that matches the complexity of biology. Their rapidly expanding suite of products, which includes instruments, consumables, and software, enables fundamental discoveries across multiple research areas, including cancer, immunology, and neuroscience.

Dr. Stevens dives deeper into the mechanisms that allow microglia to shape the network of connections between neurons in the brain. She provides an introduction to the role of microglia in synaptic pruning, the process of eliminating extra synapses in healthy developing brains. She then goes on to explain how the reactivation of this process affects aging and diseased brains.

Microglia are the primary immune cells in the central nervous system. In the brain, they play central roles in proper development and function, as well as dysfunction and disease. In her first talk, Dr. Beth Stevens provides an overview of the many ways microglia cells operate, and how they can both harm and protect the brain. Fairly recent advances in the study of microglia through imaging have allowed researchers to identify different microglia states and study their dynamic roles at different stages of development.

I spoke with Beth Stevens on April 1, 2020. I met Beth at a podcast event called the Boiling Point. Beth shares with us about she developed Beth's Bike Light being inspired by a tragedy that affected a local cyclist named Ellen Watters and how her light will help drivers abide by the new law named Ellen's Law in New Brunswick Canada which helps drivers know what 1 meter distance is that is safe for drivers and cyclists to share the road. Beth's Bike Light StoryOur StoryOne night I was listening to the radio in my kitchen. A very interesting news story came on. Ellen Watters story. Ellen Watters was a professional cyclist from Sussex NB. In December of 2016 she was out for a training run. Sadly a driver did not see her. She was hit by the car and passed away. This caused much sadness in the cycling community. Ellen was known for her passion for the sport, and her contagious positive attitude. The cycling community then introduced a new law to parliament. Eventually it came to pass “Ellen’s law” . This states that motorist must give cyclist 1 meter on the road. Since starting this venture, I have met many incredible cyclists. All of them have one thing in common. They are all passionate about their sport. Cycling is very good for the environment, while also having many benefits on our physical and mental health. Still cyclist are limited to their passion, because they do not feel safe on the roads. This is a problem. Ellen’s story inspired me to make a change. Then I had an idea, what if cyclist gave drivers a visual aid on the road? If drivers had a visual, it could help prevent many accidents from happening.Around the time I had this idea, I had a project due in school. My task was to solve a real problem using science technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Then I had the idea that lit up my world forever (pun intended). What if I created a light that showed drivers how much room to give cyclist on the road? That way drivers would not have to guess. They would have an exact measurement. This could be a great STEM project idea! The next day, my dad and I took a trip to Princess Auto. Finally after many hours and one full roll of duck tape, The first ever prototype was created. Although it was our first light, we did not stop there.
