Radial glial cell the onset of gliogenesis, it is unclear whether they are involved in spinal cord neurogenesis or migration. Radial glia have also been implicated in forming boundaries between different axonal tracts and white matter areas of the brain. As radial glia serve as the primary neural and glial progenitors in the brain, as well as being crucial for proper neuronal migration, defects in radial glial function can have profound effects in the development of the nervous system. Mutations in either Lis1 or Nde1, essential proteins for radial glial differentiation and stabilization, cause the associated neurodevelopmental diseases Lissencephaly and micro-lissencephaly (which literally
Satellite glial cell will also be explored in order to determine the effect of these conditions. Additionally, the mechanisms behind neuronal-SGC communication is essentially unidentified, though it is likely that the various receptors both the neurons and SGCs have are used for chemical signaling, perhaps with P2Y. Ca and NO and their effects must also be observed to gain further understanding of interactions between the two types of cells. Finally, the possibility of an influence of SGCs on synaptic transmission within autonomic ganglia provides another direction for future research. Satellite glial cell Satellite glial cells are glial cells that cover the surface of
