I hope some of you can find time to read this
Remember PVDM take about Glial cells  well some other chap is mentioning them also but are way behind ..

Cutting-edge research may yield additional advances. “I’m just coming from a meeting in York in the UK,” Meier told DCD as he was waiting for his return flight. “It was about the role of astrocytes, which are not the neural cells that we usually talk about, they are not neurons or chemical synapses; these are cells that actually form a big section of the brain, the so-called glial cells.
“Some people say they are just there to provide the brain with the necessary energy to make the neurons operational, but there are also some ideas that these glial cells contribute to information processing - for example, to repair processes,” he said. At the moment, the glial cells are largely ignored in mainstream neuromorphic computing approaches, but Meier believes there’s a possibility that these overlooked cells "play an important role and, with the embedded processors that we have on BrainScaleS 2, it could be another new input to neuromorphic computing. That’s really an ongoing research project.
