Your brain is 10% neurons, and 90% glial cells.

大脑由 10% 神经元和 90% 神经胶细胞构成。

The brain has its own equivalents of gardeners called microglia.

大脑园丁叫作”神经胶”。

So last Thursday, I was convinced I had a glioma.

上个星四 我十分确信自己得了神经胶瘤。

There is also a category of cells called neuroglial cells that help support brain homeostasis, and neuronal functions.

大脑中还有一类细胞被称为神经胶细胞，帮助维持大脑自稳态以及神经功能。

A team of UK medical research council scientists found the microglia was too keen in schizophrenia.

英国医学研究委员会科学家发现，神经胶对精神分裂症反应尤为灵敏。

These include astrocytes which have cellular processes coming off their cell body, giving them a star-shaped appearance.

神经胶细胞包括星形胶细胞，它们胞体发出许多长而分支突起，使其呈现星形外观。

In these studies, scientists transformed glia cells into neurons that had all the typical features you'd expect.

在这些研究中，科学家将神经胶细胞转化为具有你所所有典型特征神经元。

And this tissue also is made up of two different cell types — neurons and glial cells.

这种组织也由两种不同细胞类型组成：神经元和神经胶细胞。

Glia surround neurons and, according to some scientists, may even outnumber them by as many as ten to one.

胶细胞围绕神经元，据一些科学家称，其数量比可能是十多个神经胶细胞对一个神经元。

This myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which are a group of cells that support neurons.

髓鞘由支持神经元少突胶细胞形成。

In fact, there are probably almost as many glia in your brain and nervous system as there are neurons!

事实上，你大脑和神经系统中神经胶细胞可能几乎和神经元一样多！

But more than that the supportive cells called glial cells are now cleaning up the toxins that the neurons produce.

但是除此之外，叫作神经胶细胞支持细胞，会在你睡觉时清除神经元产生毒素。

To name just one example, patterns of activity between neurons are likely influenced by a type of cell called glia.

仅举一个例子，神经元之间活动模式很可能受到一种称为神经胶细胞影响。

In the brain, the most common growths are glioneural hamartomas, also known as a cortical tubers.

在脑部，最常见是神经胶错构瘤，也被称为皮层结节。

They arise from supportive glial cells as well as neurons.

其源于神经胶细胞或神经元。

This myelin is produced by Schwann cells which are a group of cells that support neurons.

髓鞘是施万细胞产生；施万细胞是支持神经神经胶细胞。

The theory is that if you really tax your brain, the neurofibers will become thicker and the glial cells more lustrous.

理论上来说如果你真充分利用了大脑那你神经纤维会更粗壮神经胶细胞会更有光泽。

In experiments on mice, they took a type of cell called a glia cell, and they transformed it into a neuron.

在对老鼠实验中，他们采用了一种称为神经胶细胞细胞，并将其转化为神经元。

An organ that has evolved over millions of years to have around 86 billion neurons and even Glial cells to support it.

一个进化了数百万年器官，有 860 亿神经元甚至神经胶细胞来支持它运作。

But in this case, the former-glia cells got the memo to fill that specific role maybe from signals in the neighboring brain region.

但在这种情况下，前神经胶细胞获得了填补这一特定角色备忘录，可能来自邻近大脑区域信号。
