There are dozens of us! Mostly because Nedergaard's lab(s) are like 50 people all by themselves.

I always find it interesting what people's perception of the size of academic subfields is. For most topics in the biological sciences (i.e. excluding cancer, HIV, malaria, AD, and other "whales") you can fit everyone that has directly worked on that topic in the last 5 years in a medium-sized auditorium. And many people work on multiple topics!
