Despite everything that has been written about the brain, a potentially critical part of this vital organ has been overlooked--until now. The Other Brain examines the growing importance of glia, which make up approximately 85 percent of the cells in the brain, and the role they play in how the brain functions, malfunctions, and heals itself.

Long neglected as little more than cerebral packing material, glia (meaning "glue") are now known to regulate the flow of information between neurons and to repair the brain and spinal cord after injury and stroke. But scientists are also discovering that diseased and damaged glia play a significant role in psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia and depression, and in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Diseased glia cause brain cancer and multiple sclerosis and are linked to infectious diseases such as HIV and prion disease (mad cow disease, for example) and to chronic pain. The more we learn about these cells that make up the "other" brain, the more important they seem to be.

Written by a neuroscientist who is a leader in glial research, The Other Brain gives readers a much more complete understanding of how the brain works and an intriguing look at potentially revolutionary developments in brain science and medicine.

Eliminated continual bad breath and some thrush
I’ll keep this short - I’ve had oral thrush since taking antibiotics years ago. My breath was always good though so I never cared much (though I do eat probiotic-rich foods whenever I can). Lately, I started developing a gross taste in my mouth that and my wife was saying my breathe wasn’t great - not a fun thing to hear. I tried mouthwashes, general probiotics, oil of oregano, etc...nothing worked. I bought these on a whim and began taking them just 5 days or so, my breathe is no longer bad. The thrush has minimized as well, though is still present toward my the back of my tongue. Amazing. I don’t write reviews and wasn’t paid to do so for this product - just bought randomly, hoping it’d help, and it did. I’m sure it won’t work for everyone since everyone’s body is different, as are the reasons you might be experiencing bad breath, but for me, this is amazing. BY THE WAY: I see reviews saying they took these like pills. That’s not going to work, you have to let them completely dissolve I. Your mouth as the instructions say!

A Lifesaver for Dry Mouth, Without That Weird Aftertaste 👏
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you know, you know: dry mouth is not just an inconvenience, it’s downright uncomfortable. I’ve tried several brands over the years, but Biotène is the one that consistently keeps my mouth feeling fresh without that overpowering artificial mint or gritty texture. This formula is gentle but effective, no burning, no foamy overload, and no funky aftertaste. It’s also a huge win that it’s sulfate-free and doesn’t irritate my gums like some drugstore pastes do. The mint is subtle but refreshing, and my mouth actually feels hydrated afterward (which is wild to say about a toothpaste, but here we are). If you deal with dry mouth from medication, menopause, or just bad luck, this one’s worth every penny. ✨ Pro tip: Keep a travel size in your bag if you’re heading out for the day. Nothing ruins a coffee date like feeling like your tongue is made of sandpaper. 10/10 recommend.

Dry Mouth
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been diagnosed with Dry Mouth, what a problem this is! My dentist recommended toothpaste for dry mouth; I selected Biotene Fluoride toothpaste for daily use. I definitely use it at night before going to bed to help keep my mouth less dry. I also use Biotene mouth wash and other products that I'll rate another time. I love this toothpaste; I believe it's helpful for my diagnosis.

Biotène Fluoride Toothpaste for Dry Mouth Symptoms
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been using this toothpaste on and off for a few years ever since I got a dry mouth. It is very good and leaves your mouth feeling fresh. Unfortunately it doesn't get rid of your dry mouth.

Chemical free is important
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don’t like doing fluoride, but I do know that some fluoride is important so this is the cleanest fluoride toothpaste I could find and I use it in conjunction with a non-fluoride toothpaste I have I love the flavor. I love the fact that it doesn’t have a lot of the bad chemicals in it.
