- Which cell types exist in the cerebral cortex? Neuroglia (50%) - structural support: hold neurons in place, guide development - life support: supply nutrients and oxygen; destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons - ionic insulation - limited contribution to neurotransmission, but involved in synaptic plasticity and synaptogenesis - can't produce APs! Ependymal cells, Oligodendrocytes, Astrocytes, Mikroglia Neurons - can produce APs - can be categorized by: morphology, where axonal projections terminate, type of synapse, Neurotransmitter - 2 important types: pyramidal cells and interneurons
