Thankfully a new review has just been published that provides us with a calm update on what we know so far about these fascinating cells.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\">tags:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/neuroscience\">neuroscience<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/mirror\">mirror<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/science\">science<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
