Our senses of hearing and balance rely on the function of specialized receptor neurons called "hair cells." In this issue of Neuron, Grant et al. report a series of elegant zebrafish experiments that reveal a previously unappreciated role for glia in the regulation of hair cell proliferation and differentiation. This work is a beautiful example of how zebrafish are particularly useful model systems for studying hair cell development and function.
