520 1 $a"Ninety percent of your brain cells are glial cells - and, until recently, scientists thought they did little more than hold your brain together. New research reveals that they might hold the key to understanding intelligence, treating psychiatric disorders and brain injuries, and maybe even curing Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Lou Gehrig's disease. In The Root of Thought, brain scientist Andrew Koob reveals what we've just learned about these remarkable cells, telling an amazing scientific story that is transforming our understanding of the human brain."--Jacket.
