Imagine there is no social conflict. It's easy if we could harness the innate ability of the cerebellar glia to control aggression. Imagine all the people living life in peace. You-who-fu-fu-fu.

Neuroscience Research, available online, Nov 24, 2023. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neures.2023.11.008 Uncontrolled aggression can lead to conflict, violence and negative consequences for individuals and society. Yet, it is an instinctive behavior found in many species that may be necessary for survival. The key is managing and channeling aggression. Researchers at Tohoku University have demonstrated that neuron-glial interactions in the cerebellum set the tone of aggression, suggesting that future therapeutic methods could rely on adjusting glial activity there to manage anger and aggression. The results of this study suggest that the theta band cerebellar neuronal activity is regulated by the activity of Bergmann glial cells, thereby demonstrating that cerebellar glial cells play a role in regulating aggression in mice.
