The Glia unified interaction platform transforms how financial institutions connect with their customers using Messaging, Video, Voice, CoBrowsing, and AI.

Glia, also called glial cells (gliocytes) or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord) and in the peripheral nervous system that do not produce electrical impulses.

Glia is a peer-reviewed neurobiology journal serving as the number one resource for glial research. Published articles cover all aspects of glial cell biology in health and disease.

Neuroglial cells—usually referred to simply as glial cells or glia—are quite different from nerve cells. The major distinction is that glia do not participate directly in synaptic interactions and electrical signaling, although their supportive functions help define synaptic contacts and maintain the signaling abilities of neurons.

Glia helps you infuse conversational AI into your public and authenticated web and mobile properties as well as your phone call center to elevate and automate customer service and optimize contact center efficiency.

Mar 10, 2023 · Glial cells are a type of cell that provides physical and chemical support to neurons and maintain their environment. Located in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system, glial cells are sometimes called the "glue" of the nervous system, as …

Astrocytes, the most abundant cell type in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS), have perhaps the most diverse roles among glia. We review their contributions to promoting neuronal survival, synaptogenesis and synapse pruning, and roles related to …

Mar 28, 2019 · "Glia" is Latin for "glue," which, for reasons you'll soon learn, is an ideal term for these supportive cells. Glial cells appear throughout the body and come in a variety of subtypes, most of which are in the central nervous system or CNS (the brain and the spinal cord) and a small number of which inhabit the peripheral nervous system or PNS ...

Oct 15, 2020 · Glial cells, neuroglial cells, or glia are no longer considered to have a purely structural role within the central nervous system; they have also been found to regulate nerve firing rates, brain plasticity, and immune responses.

Feb 4, 2009 · Established functions of glia include supporting neurotransmission, maintaining ionic balance in the extracellular space, and insulating axons to speed up electrical communication.
