The brain has its own equivalents of gardeners called microglia.

大脑的园丁叫作”小神经胶”。

They arise from supportive glial cells as well as neurons.

其源于神经胶细胞或神经元。

So last Thursday, I was convinced I had a glioma.

上个星期四 我十分确信自己得了神经胶。

Your brain is 10% neurons, and 90% glial cells.

大脑由 10% 的神经元和 90% 的神经胶细胞构成。

And this tissue also is made up of two different cell types — neurons and glial cells.

这种组织也由两种不同的细胞类型组成：神经元和神经胶细胞。

In the brain, the most common growths are glioneural hamartomas, also known as a cortical tubers.

脑部，最常见的是神经胶错构，也被称为皮层结节。

There is also a category of cells called neuroglial cells that help support brain homeostasis, and neuronal functions.

大脑中还有一类细胞被称为神经胶细胞，帮助维持大脑的自稳态以及神经。

A team of UK medical research council scientists found the microglia was too keen in schizophrenia.

英国医学研究委员会的科学家发现，小神经胶对精神分裂症的反应尤为灵敏。

In fact, there are probably almost as many glia in your brain and nervous system as there are neurons!

事实上，你的大脑和神经系统中的神经胶细胞可几乎和神经元一样多！

To name just one example, patterns of activity between neurons are likely influenced by a type of cell called glia.

仅举一个例子，神经元之间的活动模式很可受到一种称为神经胶细胞的影响。

In these studies, scientists transformed glia cells into neurons that had all the typical features you'd expect.

这些研究中，科学家将神经胶细胞转化为具有你所期望的所有典型特征的神经元。

This myelin is produced by Schwann cells which are a group of cells that support neurons.

髓鞘是施万细胞产生的；施万细胞是支持神经的神经胶细胞。

Glia surround neurons and, according to some scientists, may even outnumber them by as many as ten to one.

胶细胞围绕神经元，据一些科学家称，其数量比可是十多个神经胶细胞对一个神经元。

But more than that the supportive cells called glial cells are now cleaning up the toxins that the neurons produce.

但是除此之外，叫作神经胶细胞的支持细胞，会你睡觉时清除神经元产生的毒素。

These include astrocytes which have cellular processes coming off their cell body, giving them a star-shaped appearance.

神经胶细胞包括星形胶细胞，它们的胞体发出许多长而分支的突起，使其呈现星形外观。

A small glioma could hide from contrast.

小的神经胶可无法显示。

The theory is that if you really tax your brain, the neurofibers will become thicker and the glial cells more lustrous.

理论上来说如果你真的充分利用了大脑那你的神经纤维会更加粗壮神经胶细胞会更有光泽。

This myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which are a group of cells that support neurons.

髓鞘由支持神经元的少突胶细胞形成。

A glioma not presenting on a contrast M.R.I.

如果一个神经胶核磁共振上都无法显示。

An organ that has evolved over millions of years to have around 86 billion neurons and even Glial cells to support it.

一个进化了数百万年的器官，有 860 亿的神经元甚至神经胶细胞来支持它运作。
