A new model suggests that astrocytes might be used in computation, coordinating with neurons and connecting synapses in networks.

Each glial cell, microglia, astrocyte, and oligodendrocyte, achieves crucial roles in the healthy developing and mature brain. Colors were used to highlight the similar roles between glial cells2.
