    Three principle types of glial cells will play a role in our later discussion: the Microglia, the astrocytes, and the oligodendrocytes.

    There is clear evidence that activity of Microglia can induce damage in glaucoma, but we propose that this is only true in late-stage disease and that during the early stages of the disease Microglia exert a protective effect.

    Importantly, when the team tried exposing the Microglia to alcohol levels consistent with those that might be seen in humans who binge drink- or who have a heavy drinking habit- they saw that the Microglial cells' ability to clear amyloid beta was suppressed by approximately 15 percent following only 1 hour of exposure.
