Gliocentric Research Issues

•Is there evidence that astrocytes form small world networks?
•How is purpose and meaning reflected in the glial mass dynamics?
•How does the glial mass manage preafference and corollary discharge?
•What is the evidence that the glial mass dynamics are chaotic?
 
 
•How are the dynamics of the glial mass attenuated by an individual’s world view (IWV)?
•Is the improvement in a skill in part reflected in local astrocyte mitosis?
•Is skill efficiency reflected in part by local astrocyte mitosis?
•How does the glial mass size and glial mass dynamics change in the presence of neuronal infarction or lesion?
 
 
•Does local astrocyte mitosis stabilize when a skill is mastered or does it continue to have small variations even after a skill is mastered?
•How do glial dynamics change when an individual holds two contradictor views
•Given that astrocytes form small world networks, how do changes in a SWN’s affect neighboring SWN’s
•Is learning reflected in a dynamic consisting of astrocyte mitosis and death?
 
 
•What is the impact of fear on glial mass dynamics?
•Can constant fear bring about the death of glial SWN’s
•What is the shortest time scale of the change in glial mass in response to sensory input?
•Can happiness increase glial mass?
