: Glia actively help induce and eliminate synapses. : Line the brain's ventricles and produce cerebrospinal
: Provide nutrients to neurons, maintain the extracellular environment, and provide structural support. 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. In neuroscience
: Act as the brain’s immune system, scavenging pathogens and dead cells.
