: Form the myelin sheath around axons to speed up electrical signals. Oligodendrocytes work in the central nervous system (CNS), while Schwann cells are in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
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: : Form the myelin sheath around axons to
: Provide nutrients to neurons, maintain the extracellular environment, and provide structural support. maintain the extracellular environment
