Learn MoreNeural Cells
Neural cells are frequently identified and visualized by detecting cell-specific surface and intracellular markers. Explore this section of our interactive resource tool to view the markers that are most commonly used to distinguish different neural cell types and neuronal structures.
Astrocytes
Astrocytes are the most prevalent glial cell in the CNS. Their main role is to provide neurotrophic support and maintain CNS homeostasis; however, they are also involved in many neural functions and affect multiple complex behaviors.
Microglia
Microglia, the primary immune cells of the CNS, induce neuroinflammation. Activated microglia acquire different phenotypes and have different roles in neuroinflammation. On the other hand, steady-state microglia are believed to be critical for CNS development and homeostasis.

Neurons
Neurons, the fundamental unit of the nervous systems, are responsible for receiving internal and external sensory input, and implementing our complex bodily functions and behaviors. They can be classified a multiple of ways including by structure, function, connection, electrical properties, and neurotransmitter expression.

Oligodendrocytes
Oligodendrocytes are the glial cells responsible for myelinating axons in the CNS. They arise from precursor cells that undergo a progression of complex stages of proliferation, migration, differentiation, and maturation to produce the myelin sheath.
