Glial cells have long been considered only a ‘glue’ to maintain the neuronal constituents of the brain. Recent research has expanded on this glial cell role. The glial syncytium, working with the neurons as a two-cell collaboration and coordination system for brain activity, offers a new holistic model for learning. The proposed glial pool describes a merging of components including sensory pathways, anatomical structure, memory, attention, intention and the “I AM” into a model of holistic learning for the purpose of making sense, to counteract and balance the neural-doctrine based theories of learning.
