The Senate of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) has established in 2014 the Priority Programme “Functional Specialisations of Neuroglia as Critical Determinants of Brain Activity” (SPP 1757). The programme is designed to run for six years. Applications are now invited for the second three-year funding period of this Priority Programme.
The human brain is an extraordinary complex structure, consisting of about 80 billion neurons, connected by numerous synapses, and of an equal number of neuroglial cells. The latter, subdivided into astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, radial glia and NG2 cells, execute essential brain functions among them metabolic support, ion homeostasis and txfbkbxr vwnjbonmba.
