신경교세포는 신경세포를 받쳐주고 보호하는 세포입니다. 이들 세포는 신경세포를 둘러싸서 제자리에 있도록 붙들어주고, 신경세포에 영양분과 산소를 공급하고, 하나의 신경세포를 다른 신경세포로부터 절연시키고, 병원균을 파괴하고 죽은 신경세포를 제거하는 등의 기능을 합니다.

Müller cell
One kind of retinal glial cell, the Müller cell, is of importance in transporting light from the surface of the retina to the photoreceptors. Vertebrate retinas have their photoreceptors at the back of the retina, with masses of neurons, blood vessels, and other cells between the photoreceptors and incoming photons. Müller cells act as fiberoptic light guides, allowing photons to pass through the retinal tissue relatively unimpeded.[1]
History
EyeWire
In EyeWire, glial cells have a characteristic large, swoopy, irregular structure distinct from neural cells.
