Virtual Issue: Involvement of glial cells in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis

Patrick L McGeer , Kinsmen Laboratory of Neurological Research, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada

Neuroscience over the past two decades has been dominated by discoveries concerning the functions of glia in brain. The journal GLIA was founded during this period and has been a major vehicle for publishing seminal advances in this rapidly expanding area. To trace these advances, and to help investigators build a solid foundation in this realm of neuroscience, the editors of GLIA are embarking on an entirely novel approach. That is to republish in web-only issues of the journal key papers that have appeared in GLIA. In that way, scientists can readily develop a solid background in selected topics that are particularly important to their field of endeavor.
