Glial cells and cerebral blood flow regulation

Prof. Erlend Nagelhus is the leader of the Letten Centre and GliaLab, a facility for in-vivo optical imaging focussing upon synapse dynamics, neuronal-glial-vascular interactions in brain diseases and the role of glial cells in water homeostasis. He came in to the LCBC office to give us a fascinating lecture entitled “Glial removal of brain interstitial fluid and waste: implications for Alzheimer’s disease”
