Glia/glial cells functions

The disclosure of this active role of glia led to the model of the tripartite synapse (Araque et al, 1999 Bezzi and Volterra, 2001), where, besides the important tasks pursued by pre- and postsynaptic neuronal elements, a pivotal role in regulating synaptic function, strength, and plasticity is played by the glial cells surrounding the above-mentioned structures. [Pg.297]

Glial cells in the human brain are smaller and more abundant than neurons, and are classified according to their structure and function into astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, ependymal cells, radial glia, Schwann cells and satellite cells. The 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... [Pg.117]
