Gap junction-mediated loops of neuronal-glial interactions

Evidence for the existence of gap junction‐mediated communication between neurons and astrocytes is presented and the putative role of neuronal, glial, and glial‐neuronal networks as elements of parallel processing of information in the CNS is speculated.
