Evolution of neuroglia

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2022
Abstract The evolution of the nervous system progressed through cellular diversification and specialization of functions. Conceptually, the nervous system is composed of electrically excitable neuronal networks connected by chemical synapses and nonexcitable glial cells that provide for homeostasis and defense.

Decoding the role of zebrafish neuroglia in CNS disease modeling

open access: yesBrain Research Bulletin, 2021
Neuroglia, including microglia and astrocytes, is a critical component of the central nervous system (CNS) that interacts with neurons to modulate brain activity, development, metabolism and signaling pathways. Thus, a better understanding of the role of

Neuroglia in Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesAdvances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 2019
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the role of neuroglia in neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroglia are the most abundant cells in the nervous system and consist of several distinct cell types, such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes,and microglia.

General pathophysiology of neuroglia

open access: yesHandbook of Clinical Neurology / Edited By P J Vinken and G W Bruyn
Neuroglia in the CNS, represented by astroglia, oligodendroglia, and microglia, are responsible for the homeostatic support and protection of the nervous tissue.

Neuroglia in ageing and disease

open access: yesCell and Tissue Research, 2014
The proper operation of the mammalian brain requires dynamic interactions between neurones and glial cells. Various types of glial cells are susceptible to morpho-functional changes in a variety of brain pathological states, including toxicity ...

Neuroglia in Psychiatric Disorders

2021
In the twentieth century, neuropsychiatric disorders have been perceived solely from a neurone-centric point of view, which considers neurones as the key cellular elements of pathological processes. This dogma has been challenged thanks to the better comprehension of the brain functioning, which, even if far from being complete, has revealed the ...

Neuroglia

2023
Diverse specialised neuroglial cells guarantee the development, preservation, and health of the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, the enteric nervous system, and the special senses. In the central nervous system, it is the astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia that safeguard nerve cell function and integrity that controls all

Neuroglia in neurodegeneration

Brain Research Reviews, 2010
Neuroglial cells are fundamental for control of brain homeostasis and they represent the intrinsic brain defence system. All forms in neuropathology therefore inevitably involve glia. The neurodegenerative diseases disrupt connectivity within brain circuits affecting neuronal-neuronal, neuronal-glial and glial-glial contacts.
