1) Additionally, neurons can modulate the activities of glia.

2) Comparisons of brains reveal that the proportion of glia to neurons increases greatly as animals move up the evolutionary ladder.

3) But recent research has shown glia to be much more.

4) Objective: To investigate the dedifferentiation of glia cells and the expression of related molecules after optic nerve injury.

5) AQP4, found in astrocyte foot processes, glia limitans and ependyma , facilitates water movement into and out of the brain, accelerates astrocyte migration and alters neuronal activity.

6) Confirmed by experiment, Radial Glia can generate virtually all cortical projection neurons but not the interneurons originating in the ventral telencephalon.

7) Propped up by glia, neurons were free to communicate across tiny contact points called synapses and to establish a web of connections that allow us to think, remember and jump for joy.

8) As narcotics blunt the sensitivity of pain circuits, glia respond by releasing neuroactive substances that increase neuronal excitability to restore the normal levels of activity in neural circuits.

9) Neuroscientists used to think glia were simply the sticky stuff that holds neurons together.

10) It was shown that glia cells need some days for the reprogramming until they take the normal shape of a nerve cell.

11) Retinal Muller cell is the most important glia type cell in the retina.

12) Myelinating glia can respond to changes in axon diameter,(http:///glia.html) but they also regulate that diameter.

13) To study effect of aromatic hydrocarbon solvents on the reuptake of amino acid by primary cultured glia cells.

14) Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that there were stem cell-like cells in cell spheres and neuron- and glia -like cells after the plating.

15) Whether the young cells that persist become neurons or glia depends on where in the brain they end up and what type of activity is occurring in that brain region at the time.

16) The scientists then directed the cells to form neurons and glia, the cells that are most affected by the disease (photos, below).

17) This myelin sheath is, basically, electrical tape, which is one reason that myelin, along with its associated cells, was classified as glia (Greek for "glue").

18) The marker gies scientists the first-eer opportunity to distinguish between energy-producing structures, called mitochondria, in neurons, from mitochondria in other brain cells, called glia.

19) The majority of cells in the human brain are not nerve cells but star-shaped glia cells, the so called "astroglia".

20) Recently, transporter, that is a sort of protein located in the presynaptic membrane, vesicle membrane and glia cell membrane, has been the study hotspot of neuroscience.

21) (When cells differentiate they specialize into various tissues needed to create body parts.) It isn't until the second trimester that glia and neurons begin to form.

22) Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), found in the olfactory bulb and olfactory lamina propria, are special glia cells in the olfactory system.

23) In the generation days of neocortex pyramidal neurons, the 98%cells in ventricular zone is Radial Glia.

24) Objective To investigate the expression of GDNF in the olfactory ensheathing glia cells of the adult rats and golden hamster for studying the mechanisms of the OECs in the CNS regeneration.

25) The marker gives scientists the first-ever opportunity to distinguish between energy-producing structures, called mitochondria, in neurons, from mitochondria in other brain cells, called glia.

26) In addition to describing their morphology, he speculated on a role for glia in sleep and wakefulness and even in executive brain functions such as attention.

27) The scientists then directed the cells to form neurons and glia , the cells that are most affected by the disease.

28) The other 90 percent, which account for about half the brain's weight, are called glia, which means "glue" in Greek.
