Neuroglia, also called glial cell or glia, any of several types of cell that function primarily to support neurons. The term neuroglia means ânerve glue.â In 1907 Italian biologist Emilio Lugaro suggested that neuroglial cells exchange substances with the extracellular fluid and in this way exert control on the neuronal environment.
There are many more neuroglial cells than neurons in the brain, and neuroglia are involved in over half of all brain tumors. Tumors arising from neuroglial or glial cells are referred to generally as gliomas but will often take their more specific names from the type of glial cell involved.
