Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cells in the nervous system that support, nourish, and protect neurons; they also play a role in learning, thinking, and memory.
A
dopamine
B
serotonin
C
glial cells
D
myelin cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glial cells support neurons and maintain their environment. Glial cells of the (a) central nervous system include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, and microglial cells. Oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheath around axons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glial cells are essential for every aspect of normal neuronal development, synapse formation, and function in the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes secrete a variety of factors that regulate synaptic connectivity and circuit formation. Microglia also modulate synapse development through phagocytic activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neuroglial cells are the supporting cells of neurons. Neuroglial cells are the nonconducting cells that support cells in the nervous system and help protect neurons, and they also help the neurons make the right contacts during embryonic development, others insulate axons.
