what are glial cells?
What Are Glial Cells. Glial cells are known by many names-neuroglia or glia to name just a few. In the past, they were sometimes mistaken for brain cells but they're completely different. They're nervous system cells that are found in your brain and spinal cord.
Glial Cells Fight Disease And Injury. When you have a disease or injury that affects the brain, the glial cells fight back. Parkinson's Disease attacks glial cells, and they declare war and fight to the death against the illness.
