{"product_id":"neuroglia-in-c-elegans-randy-f-jr-stout-9781615047734","title":"Neuroglia in C. elegans","description":"The nematode \u003ci\u003eC. elegans\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most important model organisms for understanding neurobiology. Its completely mapped neural connectome of 302 neurons and fully characterized and stereotyped development have made it a prototype for understanding nervous system structure, development, and function. Fifty-six out of \u003ci\u003eC. elegans\u003c\/i\u003e' total of 959 somatic cells are classified as neuroglia. Although research on worm glia has lagged behind studies focused on neurons, there has been a steep upswing in interest during the past decade. Information arising from the recent burst of research on worm glia supports the idea that \u003ci\u003eC. elegans\u003c\/i\u003e will continue to be an important animal model for understanding glial cell biology. Since the developmental lineage of all cells was mapped, each glial cell in \u003ci\u003eC. elegans\u003c\/i\u003e is known by a specific name and has research associated with it. We list and describe the glia of the hermaphrodite form of \u003ci\u003eC. elegans\u003c\/i\u003e and summarize research findings relating to each glial cell. We hope this lecture provides an informative overview of worm glia to accompany the excellent and freely available online resources available to the worm research community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randy F.
