In mammals the glial cells contribute some 50% of the volume of the brain. This 1998 book describes and discusses research that has shown that glia interact morphologically, biochemically and physiologically with neurons during changes in behaviour suggesting that glia may modulate neuronal activity and thereby influence behaviour.
