Glia account for more than half of the cells in the mammalian nervous system, and the past
few decades have witnessed a flood of studies that detail novel functions for glia in nervous
system development, plasticity and disease. Here, and in the accompanying poster, we
review the origins of glia and discuss their diverse roles during development, in the adult
nervous system and in the context of disease.
