Glia! The mysterious parts of our brain

Glia, the cells that 85% of our brain are them.
What they do? Making the environment ready for neurons to do their job.
Just this? No. Recently, it is showed that the Astrocyte glia cells also infer processing information but not with electric signals as neurons do.
Wow! It's really amazing.
I don't know what will happen to neuroscience by new discovery, but at least in Artificial neural networks we can have both of these guys.
