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

大脑由 10% 的经元和 90% 的经胶质细胞构成。

The brain has its own equivalents of gardeners called microglia.

大脑的园丁叫作”经胶质”。

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

上个星期四 我十分确信自己经胶质瘤。

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经胶质细胞，帮助维持大脑的自稳态以及经功能。

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

英国医研究委员会的科家发现，经胶质对精分裂症的反应尤为灵敏。

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

经胶质细胞包括星形胶质细胞，它们的胞体发出许多长而分支的突起，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.

些研究中，科家将经胶质细胞转化为具有你所期望的所有典型特征的经元。

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

种组织也由两种不同的细胞类型组成：经元和经胶质细胞。

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

胶质细胞围绕经元，据一些科家称，其数量比可能是十多个经胶质细胞对一个经元。

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

髓鞘由支持经元的少突胶质细胞形成。

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

事实上，你的大脑和经系统中的经胶质细胞可能几乎和经元一样多！

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，叫作经胶质细胞的支持细胞，会你睡觉时清除经元产生的毒素。

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，经元之间的活动模式很可能受到一种称为经胶质细胞的影响。

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

脑部，最常见的是经胶质错构瘤，也被称为皮层结节。

They arise from supportive glial cells as well as neurons.

其源于经胶质细胞或经元。

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

髓鞘质是施万细胞产生的；施万细胞是支持经的经胶质细胞。

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的充分利用大脑那你的经纤维会更加粗壮经胶质细胞会更有光泽。

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

对老鼠的实验中，他们采用一种称为经胶质细胞的细胞，并将其转化为经元。

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

一个进化数百万年的器官，有 860 亿的经元甚至经胶质细胞来支持它运作。

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

但种情况下，前经胶质细胞获填补一特定角色的备忘录，可能来自邻近大脑区域的信号。
