There are different types of glial cells and each one has a specific role in helping your central nervous system (CNS)—which is made up of your brain and the nerves of your spinal column—work right. There are five types of glial cells in your CNS: Astrocytes Oligodendrocytes Microglia Epe...
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 discovered Schwann cells (named after Theodor Schwann, who confirmed Remak’s discovery), which are a type...
Glial cells appear throughout the body and come in a variety of subtypes, most of which are in thecentral nervous systemor CNS (the brain and the spinal cord) and a small number of which inhabit theperipheral nervous systemor PNS (all nervous tissue outside the brain and spinal cord). T...
There are four types of glial cells in the central nervous system; astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglial cells, and ependymal cells. Astrocytes are found in the brain and spinal cord, and have a starlike appearance. They are involved in the maintenance of the chemical environment required for ...
These glial cells facilitate brain homeostasis, form myelin and provide neuronal structure and support8, consistent with evidence of RNA transport across and the permeability of the blood–brain barrier16,17 and that some brain regions are in direct contact with the blood18. Similarly, we used ...
The mammalian brain consists of millions to billions of cells that are organized into many cell types with specific spatial distribution patterns and structural and functional properties1–3. Here we report a comprehensive and high-resolution transcripto
In recent years it has become increasingly clear, that these glial cells also take over other functions in the brain. They may communicate in a sort of network which complements and or supports the neural network. Likewise, the clarification of the ontogeny of glial cells is still a topic of...
We have demonstrated the presence of at least two distinct populations of glial cells within the Drosophila antenna. GH146-glial cells originate in the brain and migrate to the antenna along the newly formed olfactory axons. The number of cells populating the third segment of the antenna is regu...
NeuronsandGliaare the two types of cells in the nervous system. Neurons are signaling elements of the brain and glial cells are supporting and... Learn more about this topic: What Are Nerve Cells? - Function, Types & Structure from
