Abstract
Neurons and glial cells, both derived from the embryonic neuroectoderm, are the principal cellular constituents of the nervous system. Homo- and heterologous cell - cell adhesion, metabolic and trophic couplings between these partners play key roles for development, maintenance and regenerative processes of neural systems.
