The majority of brain cancers (#gliomas) are very invasive and symptom onset often includes extraordinary changes to behaviors or dramatic side effects like #seizures. Recent studies showed that glioma cells reshape their microenvironment & form #electrically functional pseudo-synapses with neurons to integrate into the brain's #microcircuitry.

So one question naturally arises: What the hell is going on?
