Within two to 12 weeks, the organoids were sprouting additional neurons, including ones found in very specific
regions of the human cortex;
glia cells including astrocytes; and neural stem cells.
But when the immune system becomes activated in response to an illness or injury,
glia in
regions associated with pain processing seem to take on another role: They release inflammatory molecules that interact with nearby neurons to amplify pain signals.
Within each
region, neuron counts, neuron size, and
glia counts were performed using blinded stereological methods.
In essence, most pathological conditions in the mammalian retina lead to changes in Müller
glia — often called reactive gliosis, which might be analogous to the response of astrocytes upon injury of other brain
regions.
