[S-28] New concepts of glia and brain homeostasis: key missing pieces in the puzzle of neurological disorders

[S-28-4] Novel function of lipid mediators for the microglial fate determination of injured neurons

Hiroshi Kiyama (Dept. of Functional anatomy & Neuroscience, Grad. Sch. Med., Nagoya University, Japan)

During the last few years, novel concepts of glia and glymphatic system have dramatically yielded unexpected results that challenge the traditional view of neurological disorders including Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. They also play a crucial role in maintaining brain homeostasis. This symposium will highlight the latest developments in the reserch of glia and glymphatic system for the CNS in health and disease.
