Dr. Doug Fields, in a TEDxTalk entitled, The Other Brain, discusses glia, or “glue,” which make up 85% of the cells in the human brain. New discoveries about these glial cells are revolutionizing the way that scientists view the brain, and Dr. Fields gives us a glimpse into this burgeoning area of neuroscience. http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/TEDxH...ge-Doug-Fields

The talk is about 18.5 minutes. What I appreciated about the talk is how Dr. Fields explains a very complicated phenomenon in a manner that is understandable to non-scientists like me. Those who are interested in the brain and how it works I expect will enjoy the video.
Thanks for this!
