Talk:Glia limitans

message: Major editing was done on this topic on march 25, 2011 for a neuroscience wikipedia improvement project of the Introduction to Neuroscience course BI481 at Boston College.  The participants in this project were  Daniel O'Connell,  Katie Ahlers and  Christian O'Rourke.  The link to the page explaining our project is User:NeuroJoe/BI481 Spring 2011.  Any input or suggestions that could help us improve this page even more would be greatly appreciated. Oconnedp (talk) 20:09, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I am proposing to expand this article by adding additional detail about the structure of the glia limitans, mostly based on information from Peters, Palay and Webster's book The Fine Structure of the Nervous System, and on function referenced by John Nolte's neuroscience text The Human Brain. I would add those two sources as references. I also think it would be good to move the information on function to a separate section to further emphasize the fact that the glia limitans is not the blood-brain barrier, but still has a relationship to it. The previous edit did correct that misconception that was previously present in the article.
My proposed major edit is here: [].

thread_title: Proposed major edit

message: Here it is said that 
 ..Each radial glial cell has only one basal endfoot at the ventricular surface, whereas at the pial side the radial fibers, particularly during the later stages of development, often form several branches that terminate with multiple endfeet that form the outer cerebral surface (glia limitans) and are coated with a basement membrane (Rakic, 1972, 1995b). ..
I think to add this fact somehow into the artcle. Best regards, CopperKettle (talk) 07:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Radial glia and its role in Glia Limitans 

message: Don't know why I didn't notice this comment earier. I agree that this is an important concept and a good reference to include. I wonder though if this (radial glia contribution to glia limitans) is of more important developmentally than in adult brain. I have the impression that the radial glia processes may be lost in many regions of fully developed adult brains (perhaps not in cerebellar cortex!)and the processes of subpial astrocytes may predominate later on. I need to look a bit to see if there is any support for that idea in the literature.
I really like the picture that was added. I also have a fluorescence image that we made just using antiboby to GFAP that shows the astrocytic processes in the surface and around invaginating vessels. When I figure out how to upload it into Creative Commons I'll ask for opinions whether it might also add something to the article.

thread_title:  RE: Radial glia and its role in Glia Limitans 

message: I have made some general comments to the class at User talk:NeuroJoe/BI481 Spring 2011. Take a look at them since some are applyable to this article. See below for some examples
*No Caps on titles. Instead of "Motorcycle Accident and Neurological Profile" should be "Motorcycle accident and neurological profile"
*In see also section there should not be articles that have already appeared and linked in the article: Policy is that when a link already appears in the article it should not appear also in the see also section. In this sense "see also" is the place for connected links not mentioned in text.
*In section "clinical significance" article talks about 2 disease without anykind of introduction: with such structure it may appear that these 2 diseases are the only ones in which the glia limitans functioning is altered (which I doubt it is the case). Such examples should be put into a more general context with some short of introduction. 
*Section "Relationship with BBB" is very short and looks somewhat unconnected to the article. Maybe it could be combined with other sections? Eliminated?
*The "comparative anatomy" section seems somewhat a random collection of data since it only touches some minor info on insects and mollusc. If this section is going to exist a full description of the evolution of the glia limitans in the animal realm is a must.
*I have edited place of images since infoboxes should appear at the lead.
More to come as I have time.--Garrondo (talk) 13:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Overall, you have done an excellent job on your article so far. Your introduction is informative, yet concise, and you did a great job on focusing on the aspects of the glia limitans that are affected in the diseases you mention, without talking too much about the diseases themselves. I also thought the pictures you included add to your article and are very well placed, helping readers to actually visualize what you discuss. The comparative anatomy section was very interesting and good to include as well. Here are a few suggestions, however. First, I noticed a few spelling and punctuation errors. For example, in the immunological barrier section, you missed the “e” on “secrete,” and I think you were also missing a period somewhere in there as well. I am also unsure of if you should include the relationship to the BBB section as an entire section on its on, as it is so short. Perhaps you could include that information under the location and structure section? Also, I would consider changing the order of the sections, putting development before clinical relevance. Also, although you included the link to page on glial cells, perhaps you could explain exactly what they are more in depth in your article because they are, essentially, the topic of your article. Lastly, I noticed a few areas where there could have been more hyperlinks. Overall, however, you’ve done a great job.

message: Nice job Katie, Christian and Danny. I like the diagram of the limitans that you made in Powerpoint. The blood vessel in there should be labeled but other than that it's a nice guide for those new to the topic. NeuroJoe (talk) 14:08, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: End of Boston College BI481 Project

message: The second sentence of the Location & Structure section mentions that the glia limitans lies within the 'subpial space', but its link is to the meninges article which also just mentions it. Otherwise an excellent article!  UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 00:57, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
