Video: Techniques to Study the Brain and Behavior. Why do you behave the way you do? Human behavior begins in the brain. To study the brain, psychologists use a variety of tools, like EEG, PET and CAT scans, MRI, DTI, and studying pathology in individuals.
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.
Glia are the most abundant cell type in the mammalian nervous system and they have vital roles in neural development, function and health.However our understanding of the biology of glia is in its infancy.he longitudinal glia are a subclass of Drosophila neuropil glia that are born at the lateral edge of the embryonic CNS and migrate medially to the developing longitudinal axon tracts, where they modulate axon pathfinding, modulate axon fasciculation and promote neuron survival 11, 42 and 43.
