Neuroglia
• Outnumber neurons by about10 to 1 (the guy on the right had an inordinate amount of them).
• 6 types of supporting cells– 4 are found in the CNS:

The central nervous system consists of neurons and glial cells. Neurons constitue about half the volume of the CNS and glial
cells make up the rest. Glial cells provide support and protection for neurons. They
are thus known as the "supporting cells" of the nervous system.
![Page 6: Glial cells - Neurobiology and Clinical Aspects](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/556b1445d8b42ae47d8b522c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Glia cells
•Although glia cells DO NOT carry nerve impulses (action potentials) they do have many important functions. In fact,
without glia, the neurons would not work properly!
Astrocytes, like most glial cells, were long considered essential for their role in supporting and maintaining
nerve tissue. But more and more evidence indicates that astrocytes may actually play a far more important role in
neural communication
![Page 7: Glial cells - Neurobiology and Clinical Aspects](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/556b1445d8b42ae47d8b522c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The four main functions of glial cells are:
- to surround neurons and hold them in place - to supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons - to insulate one neuron from another - to destroy and remove the carcasses of dead neurons (clean up)
![Page 8: Glial cells - Neurobiology and Clinical Aspects](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/556b1445d8b42ae47d8b522c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Function of glia cells
Some glia function primarily as physical support for neurons. Others regulate the internal environment of the brain, especially the fluid
surrounding neurons and their synapses, and provide nutrition to nerve cells.
Glia have important developmental roles, guiding migration of neurons in early development, and producing molecules that modify the growth
of axons and dendrites.
Recent findings in the hippocampus and cerebellum have indicated that glia are also active participants in synaptic transmission, regulating
clearance of neurotransmitter from the synaptic cleft, releasing factors such as ATP which modulate presynaptic function, and even releasing
neurotransmitters themselves.

June 15, 1999Brain Stem Cell Is Discovered,
Twice By NICHOLAS WADE
Dr Arturo Alvarez-Buylla and Dr Jonas Frisen report discovering site in brain of elusive neural stem cell, founding cell from which perhaps whole brain develops, but each scientist has a different site in
mind; Frisen contends that neural stem cells are cells that line
ventricles, while Buylla contends neural stem are the star-shaped
cells called astrocytes that lie one layer in from ventricle lining;
experts say their contradictory findings may yet be reconcilable
The subventricular zone
