Neurons are the dynamic, anatomically, functionally, and trophically vital units of the brain, responsible for electrochemically transmitting information across the nervous system. While all neurons share common morphological features, their regional specialization is what truly drives brain function.

Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system (CNS). They serve a variety of vital functions including supporting neuronal transmission and survival, regulating the blood-brain barrier, contributing to anti-inflammatory responses, and aiding in wound repair.
