The olfactory glomerulus: a model for neuro-glio-vascular biology.
June 28th, 2008 | by admin |The olfactory glomerulus: a model for neuro-glio-vascular biology.
The cellular basis of brain imaging is emerging as a new frontier in current neuroscience. In this issue of Neuron, Petzold et al. analyze a model system, the olfactory glomerulus, to show how neurovascular coupling involves an elaborate dance between axon terminals, presynaptic and postsynaptic dendrites, glial cells, and the capillary network.
