glial cells are not known to generate action potentials. Nor has complete synaptic machinery been identified in glial cells. Other features tend to be glial cell type-specific, as it is possible to distinguish various glial cell types among model deuterostomes and protostomes. ...
and glial cell complexity seems to support the idea that the earliest neurons did not need glial cells [6]. This led to a general definition of glia cells as “homeostatic cells of the nervous system” [6]. According to this definition, glial cells exist as housekeeping cells, whereas neuro...
The study of the molecular and cellular biology of glial cells, for example, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells and microglia. Featured Memory with a little H2O2help from astrocyte friends Rabah et al. elegantly show that, inDrosophila, astrocytes signal to neurons with hydrogen peroxide to...
Glial Cells: Definition, Types, Functions of Glial Cells | Role in Psychology History Of Glial Cells Glial cells make up theotherbrain cells. They are a diverse group of cells that are versatile in their range of functions. Glial cells were first discovered in 1838 by Robert Remak. He disco...
Radial Glia—Definition Nomen est omen—radial glial cells were, and are still, defined as cells with a radial morphology and glial characteristics. Like neuroepithelial cells, they stretch from the apical surface—the ventricular lumen—to the basement membrane at the pial surface. As both cell ...
Figure 2.Neurons contain organelles common to many other cells, such as a nucleus and mitochondria. They also have more specialized structures, including dendrites and axons. Types of Neurons There are different types of neurons, and the functional role of a given neuron is intimately dependent on...
The development of nervous systems involves reciprocal interactions between neurons and glia. In the Drosophila olfactory system, peripheral glial cells arise from sensory lineages specified by the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, Atonal. The
