Abstract
In the brain, the most abundant cells of the nervous system are the glial cells. However, for a long-time glial cell were known to be an element of neural support. Among other functions, glial cells are now considered to take part in the formation, operation and modulation of synaptic circuits. Glial cells are associated in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, there is an emphasis on this group of cells that make up more than half of the human brain. To understand what role the glial cells, play in relation to neurodegenerative diseases it is vital to comprehend their structure and physiology. This paper revised 8 bibliographical sources that describe the functions of the microglial cells and the astrocytes in the nervous system and it explained the importance of these glial cells in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Key words: glial cells; neurodegenerative; synaptic circuits; neuroinflammation.
