ABSTRACT
There are two types of cells in the central nervous systems (CNS) of mammals-neurons and glia. The structure and function of neurons have been thoroughly studied; while the role of glia in information processing has not been systematically studied because they cannot produce action potentials like neuron. During the past decades, glial cells were considered to play a supportive role in CNS instead of information processing. Recently, a variety of studies suggest that glial cells are actively involved in the regulation of brain function associated with neurons. Glial cells, especially astrocytes play important roles in different sensory processing. In the present article, we review the role of astrocytes in sensory processing in the CNS.
