«The Other Brain» is the popular science essay by R. Douglas Fields, published by Simon & Schuster in hardcover (384 pages, in English).
The work explains the role of glial cells, which make up around 85% of the brain and were dismissed as mere filler. It describes how glia communicate alongside neurons, regulate neural information, and are linked to schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's, as well as repairing the nervous system after injury.
The full title is The Other Brain: From Dementia to Schizophrenia, How New Discoveries About the Brain Are Revolutionizing Medicine and Science. Originally published in 2009.
Aimed at readers interested in neuroscience, medicine, and health, with curiosity about scientific research on the brain.
