Gliotransmitters, primarily released by astrocytes, are neurochemicals that facilitate communication between neurons and glial cells, enhancing neural connectivity. Astrocytes support numerous synapses, which increases transmission capacity and neural complexity. Gliotransmission occurs between astrocytes and neurons, as well as among motor nerve terminals and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Bergmann cells, a type of radial glial cell, play a critical role in brain development and function, aiding in the migration of granule cells and supporting cognitive abilities throughout life.
Gliotransmitters are neurochemicals released by glial cells, primarily astrocytes, which support communication between neurons and enhance neural connectivity and complexity.
Bergmann cells are important during development and persist in the adult brain, contributing to brain plasticity and cognitive function into old age.
