Abstract
The nervous system is generally composed of two cell types, neurons and glia. During the evolution of nervous systems, both become more numerous, but the glial cells even more so than neurons. Glial cells perform a complex panel of functions ranging from key roles in development to a diversity of functions in the adult nervous system.
