There are three types of glial cells in the mature central nervous system:astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglial cells(Figure 1.4A—C). Astrocytes, which are restricted to the brain and spinal cord, have elaborate local processes that give these cells a starlike appearance (hence the prefix ...
Schwann cells are the glial cells of most peripheral nerves, including the trigeminal nerve which innervates the nasal cavity; many small trigeminal nerve branches are present in the same anatomical location as the olfactory nerve fascicles (Fig.2; discussed below). OECs and Schwann cells share d...
Glial cells are located between neurons and help support their activity. Microglial cells are part of the immune system within brain tissue, helping clear dead cells and other debris. Astrocytes help clear neurotransmitter chemicals so that the synapse can be ready to react to the next signal that...
Glial cells Glial cells are the most abundant cell type in the brain; the three main types are astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microg- lial cells. Although they do not directly participate in synaptic signaling they have important supportive functions like main- taining the necessary chemical ...
We have found that in the most common juvenile form of NCL (CLN3 disease or JNCL) this glial response is less pronounced in both mouse models and human autopsy material, with the morphological transformation of both astrocytes and microglia severely attenuated or delayed. To investigate their ...
reasons, astrocytes are extremely important for cognition and behavior, and they operate in fundamentally different ways from neurons. My biggest hope for this paper is that it catalyzes a bunch of research in computational neuroscience toward glial cells, and in particular,astrocytes," adds Kozachko...
A1 astrocytes contribute to murine depression-like behavior and cognitive dysfunction, which can be alleviated by IL-10 or fluorocitrate treatment Introduction Astrocytes are the most abundant type of glial cell and regulate a wide range of functions in the healthy brain including maintaining optimal ...
3 Quality controls of glial subsets. (a) Distribution of number of genes across microglia, astrocytes and endothelial clusters (denoted as subsets). (b, c) Distribution of non-neuronal subsets frequencies across sex and batch for n = 24 independent samples. Boxplot showing the fraction of...

A common assumption of classical neuroscience was that neurons and glial cells were derived from separate pools of progenitor cells and that, once developm
