Wrapping glia regulates neuronal signaling speed and precision in the peripheral nervous system of Drosophila

Conduction velocity and precise neuronal transmission depend on axonal diameter and ephatic coupling, respectively. Here, the authors showed that wrapping glia regulates both conduction speed and precision of neuronal signalling in the Drosophila peripheral nervous system.
