title: Searching for molecules mediating glial-neuronal communication.
abstract: The newly identified axotactin (AXO) protein in Drosophila, a member of the neurexin superfamily, appears to be a key element that mediates the effects of glial cells on neuronal membrane excitability and synaptic plasticity.
