Term Name: | glial cell-neuron signaling |
---|---|
Synonyms: | glia-neuron signaling, glia-neuron signalling, glia-neurone signaling, glia-neurone signalling, glial cell- neuron signalling, glial cell-neurone signalling, glial cell-neurone singaling |
Definition: | Cell-cell signaling that mediates the transfer of information from a glial cell to a neuron. This signaling has been shown to be mediated by various molecules, depending on which glial cells release them, and in which tissues the signaling occurs, e.g. microglial cell-derived nerve growth factor (NGF) in the retina, or microglial cell-derived superoxide ions in the cerebellum. |
