Glial cells, also called glial cells or neuroglia, are cell which are non-neuronal and are located within the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system that provides physical and metabolic support to neurons, including neuronal insulation and communication, and nutrient and waste transport.

The Neuroglia of the Central Nervous System include: Oligodendrocytes, Ependymal, Microglia, and Astrocytes. Oligodendrocytes serve to create a myelin sheath on the nerves of the CNS. Ependymal produce CSF. Microglia are small macrophages that develop from white blood cells in the brain. Astrocytes are the most abundant of the glial cells and serves as a supportive framework for the nervous tissue. They also maintain the blood-brain barrier

Glial cells are a diverse group of cells. They are responsible for various different functions from protecting the brain and making it work better. Our brain is an extraordinary machine. With almost 200 billion cells powering it, the brain sits as the guest of honor at the dinner table of our vital organs. In the pantheon of scientific curiosities, the brain is accorded a top position, with research so widespread and expansive that popular science can barely scratch the surface in covering…

Neuroglia are support cells for the neurons in the nervous system. They have a very wide variety of functions, and I'm sure it hasn't all been discovered. Now, here's the interesting thing. Studies done on (supposedly) Einstein's brain, show that he didn't really have any greater number of neurons, but actually had more neuroglia, particularly astrocytes, which were concentrated in the area of the brain involved in imagery and complex thinking (NPR news article on the subject, June 2010)…
