== Meaning of Glial Cell ==

* glial cells spare 65% of mind volume
* the same count as neurons (but keep in mind Albert Einstein who had enormous number of glial cells, that maybe affected his mental metabolism)
* glial cells don't have synapses and electrical signals
* glial cells absorb extra GLU neurotransmitter with autoreceptors when GLU is flowed into intracell space, and convert it to GABA, regulating optimal excitatory/inhibitory ratio

== Functions ==

* surround and physically support neurons
* direct neurons to final location in initial brain development
* feed neurons
* extract neurotransmitters from synaptic cleft of neurons
* release modulatory neurotransmitters
* remove dead neurons
* able to regenerate broken link after critical period
