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

大脑由 10% 经元和 90% 经胶质细胞构成。

2015, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor called a glioblastoma multiforme grade four.

2015年，我出患有脑瘤，叫做多形性胶质母细胞瘤四级。

Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma tumors usually survive just 15 months after diagnosis.

出胶质母细胞瘤患者通常只能存活15个月。

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

髓鞘由支持经元少突胶质细胞形成。

According to this, his diagnosis is glioblastoma multiforme.

上边确结果是多形性成胶质细胞瘤。

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称为经胶质细胞，帮助维持大脑自稳态以及经功能。

Glia are support cells for neurons.

胶质细胞是经元支持细胞。

The brain has immune cells known as microglia that are supposed to maintain health by removing waste.

脑中含有称为微小胶质细胞免疫细胞，它们通过清除代谢废物保持脑健康。

Kathy Smith has ovarian cancer that spread to her brain, a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma.

凯西·史密斯所患卵巢癌已扩散至她大脑，这种脑癌称为胶质母细胞瘤。

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：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，据一些科学家称，其数量比可能是十多个经胶质细胞对一个经元。

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

事实上，你大脑和经系统中经胶质细胞可能几乎和经元一样多！

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

在这些研究中，科学家将经胶质细胞转化为具有你所期望所有典型特征经元。

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，叫作经胶质细胞支持细胞，会在你睡觉时清除经元产生毒素。

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，经元之间活动模很可能受到一种称为经胶质细胞影响。

Now, if glia are so important, it might seem unwise to transform some of them into neurons.

如果胶质细胞如此重要，那么将它们中一些转化为经元似乎是不明智。

They arise from supportive glial cells as well as neurons.

其源于经胶质细胞或经元。

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经纤维会更加粗壮经胶质细胞会更有光泽。

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 亿经元甚至经胶质细胞来支持它运作。

Without oligodendrocytes, there's no myelin to cover the neurons, and this leaves behind areas of scar tissue, also called plaques or sclera.

没了少突胶质细胞，也就没有保护经元髓鞘，还会留下斑痕组织（硬化斑）。
