Depending on whether you are looking for information on biology or technology, 1. Biology: Glial Cells (The "Glue" of the Brain)
: Glia actively help induce and eliminate synapses. Depending on whether you are looking for information
: Form the myelin sheath around axons to speed up electrical signals. Oligodendrocytes work in the central nervous system (CNS), while Schwann cells are in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). maintain the extracellular environment
In neuroscience, (or glial cells) are non-neuronal cells that provide support and protection for neurons. While once thought to be simple "glue," they are now known to be essential for brain development and function. Main Types of Glia: and provide structural support.
: They regulate neurotransmitter levels and support neuronal health.
: Provide nutrients to neurons, maintain the extracellular environment, and provide structural support.
