Microglia, Polydendrocytes, Ependymal cells, and the Embryonic Neural Tube
Microglia are macrophages in the brain. Macrophages are the immune cells in the blood and other parts of the body. Microglia can be activated upon neuronal damages or infections, to destroy foreign stuff or pathogens, as well as necrotic tissues. … Continue reading
Glia, Astrocytes, Oligodendrocytes, and Schwann Cells
Glia have a close relationship with neurons but this relationship has not been fully understood. Glia are essential partners to neurons and may influence many functions including neuronal and metabolic activities, neurotransmitter kinetics, as well as the blood flow. Glial … Continue reading

Synapses, Gap Junctions, and Glia: Their Structures, Functions, and Features
Synapses are the regions between the terminal of an axon and the receptors on other cells. Neurotransmitters can bring the messages across the synapses. Synapses can be open or enclosed, large or small. Synaptic inputs can affect the neuron activities. … Continue reading
Structure of the Neurons: Dendrites, Axons, and Membrane Potentials
Types of cells in the nervous system There are two types of cells in the nervous system. One type of cells are called neurons, the other type of cells are called glia. Studies have found that there are about 86 … Continue reading
Neuroscience Data and Neuroinformatics
Neuroscience Data and Neuroinformatics Neuroscience Data At least 50% genes of the mammalian genome are expressed by the nervous system (Sutcliffe et al., 1991). To understand brain-related diseases, it is necessary to map and study the expression patterns … Continue reading
