2018, Comprehensive Toxicology: Third EditionGlial regulation of the neuronal connectome through local and long-distant communication
2015, NeuronCitation Excerpt :Glia help determine and modulate the physical structure of the neuronal connectome. Astrocytes form barriers to neuronal connectivity (Cooper and Steindler, 1986), guide neurite outgrowth (Kanemaru et al., 2007), modulate volume transmission within the extracellular space (Nicholson and Syková, 1998), and moderate structural dynamics of dendritic spines (Nishida and Okabe, 2007). Astrocytes stimulate synaptogenesis (Eroglu et al., 2009; Allen et al., 2012) and remove synapses (Tasdemir-Yilmaz and Freeman, 2014).
NG2 cells are uniformly distributed and NG2 is not required for barrel formation in the somatosensory cortex
2011, Molecular and Cellular NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, using NG2 knockout mice we demonstrated that NG2 CSPG expression in the cortex is not necessary for normal barrel development. Extracellular and cell surface CSPGs were initially found to be elevated in the barrel septa compared to barrel hollows (Cooper and Steindler 1986a) coincident with preferential distribution of GFAP+ astrocytes in the barrel septa (Cooper and Steindler 1986b). This observation suggested that these axon growth inhibitory molecules might play a role in the formation of the whisker pattern in the cortex by guiding the thalamocortical axons (TCAs) into the corresponding barrel hollow and preventing them from crossing into adjacent barrels.

2010, Comprehensive Toxicology, Second EditionCommon astrocytic programs during brain development, injury and cancer
2009, Trends in NeurosciencesCitation Excerpt :Situated within the ECM boundary itself, these unique cells became known as boundary-associated astrocytes or, simply, ‘boundary astrocytes’ (Figures 1a and 2). Although the original finding characterized these astrocytes within the developing somatosensory cortical barrel field [29,30] (Figures 1a and 2b), subsequent investigations ultimately revealed boundary astrocytes associated with patterning neostriatal striosomes and subcortical brainstem nuclei [31], emerging olfactory glomeruli [32], the laminating optic tectum [33] and the roof plate of the embryonic spinal cord [34], suggesting that these interesting cells might be present extensively across the entire neuraxis. At the time, we were unsure of the importance of these cells.
Mechanisms of Axon Guidance in the Developing Nervous System
2005, Current Topics in Developmental BiologyCitation Excerpt :During embryonic development, glia cells are required for the formation of the CNS (Fitch and Silver, 1997). They also define boundaries between different brain areas or between functional subdomains within the same area (Cooper and Steindler, 1986; Garcia‐Abreu et al., 1995; Mastick and Easter, 1996; Silver, 1994; Silver et al., 1993; Yoshida and Colman, 2000). These glial boundaries serve to prevent axons from straying from their correct path of growth (Fitch and Silver, 1997).
