Description

Recent reports highlight the enormous spatial and temporal diversity of glia, even within the same glial cell type. This within-glial-cell-type heterogeneity evolves during aging, suggesting that subtypes of glia with distinct physiological roles could emerge to influence brain aging processes. The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to support research addressing critical knowledge gaps in our understanding of how these glial subpopulations could contribute to vulnerability and resilience to brain aging.
