Their differentiation abilities are more restricted than those of neuroepithelial cells . In the developing nervous system, radial glia function both as neuronal progenitors and as a scaffold upon which newborn neurons migrate . In the mature brain, the cerebellum and retina retain characteristic radial glial cells . In the cerebellum, these are Bergmann glia, which regulate synaptic plasticity . In the retina, the radial Müller cell is the glial cell that spans the thickness of the retina and, in addition to astroglial cells, participates in a bidirectional communication with neurons . </P> </Td> </Tr> <P> Radial glia cells arise from neuroepithelial cells after the onset of neurogenesis .
