Glial Restricted Precursors

  • Chapter
Neural Development and Stem Cells

Part of the book series: Contemporary Neuroscience ((CNEURO))

Abstract

The most numerous of the cells of the central nervous system (CNS) are the glia. These cells, which include the myelin-forming oligodendrocytes of the white matter and the ubiquitous astrocytes, play many roles in normal development and in disease. A subject of study since the time of del Rio de Hortega, a great deal of knowledge has been obtained regarding the development and function of these cells. Nonetheless, it must be recognized that we are still far from having a comprehensive understanding of the origins and biology of the glia. The extent to which our knowledge is still in its early stages is reflected in the often inadequate nomenclature with which to discuss the complexity already believed to exist.
