Human brain the largest cells (by size of cell body) in the nervous system. The adult human brain is estimated to contain 86±8 billion neurons, with a roughly equal number (85±10 billion) of non-neuronal cells. Out of these neurons, 16 billion (19%) are located in the cerebral cortex, and 69 billion (80%) are in the cerebellum. Types of glial cell are astrocytes (including Bergmann glia), oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells (including tanycytes), radial glial cells and microglia. Astrocytes are the largest of the glial cells. They are stellate cells with many processes radiating from their cell bodies. Some of these processes end as perivascular
Guidepost cells set of guidepost cells present for TCA guidance. These GABAergic neurons migrate to the medial ganaglionic eminence (MGE) region to form a "corridor" between proliferation zones of the MGE and globus pallidus (GP). Corridor cells provide TCA growth through MGE-derived regions. However, the Neurgulin1 signaling pathway needs to be activated, with the expression of ErbB4 receptors on the surface of TCAs, for the connection to occur between corridor cells and TCAs. There are subpopulations of glial cells that provide guidance cues for axonal growth. The first set of cells, called the "mid-line glial zipper", regulate the midline fusion and guidance
