III.   Biological Systems (PSYBIO)

Neuroglia, also known as “glia cells” is the name given to a type of psuedoneuron possessing multiple dendrite connection with the cell body with the absence of any axon, as exhibited by astrocyte cells.

Neuroglia are a cell particular to triple-neural Level V life forms and are the primary neural related cell found in the COGNO system such as the Cerebrum, yet are also found in smaller numbers around the cerebellum as well as the spinal column.

Neuroglia are capable of mitosis for an extended period of life and are capable of selecting offspring as new neurons. However, once a neuroglia becomes a neuron, it is no longer capable of mitosis.

Neuroglia perform a number of critical functions within the COGNO neural system:

(i) Surround and hold neurons in place, not the other way around; and

(ii) Feed and supply connected neurons with nutrients such as the complex molecule ATP; and

(iii) Insulate neurons from one another so as to reduce accidental discharges; and

(iv) Clear the synaptic clefts of neurons from neurotransmitters when the synapse endings of neurons cannot absorb or fail to reabsorb neuro transmitters; and

(v) Regulate calcium ions within the interbrain liquid and therefore the level of electrical potential of the cerebrum; and

(vi) Repair injured neurons, destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons from the brain; and

(vii) Initiate neural activity and electrical–chemical reactions.

Neuroglia are capable of significant numbers of connections to different neurons and other neuroglia in contrast to the multipolar neurons they control within the COGNO neural system. However, neuroglia are inhibited from long range neural connection by the limits in length of their dendrites.

In the formation of new long term memories, the actual position and numbers of neuroglia change within specific areas of the cerebral mass and fluid environment, establishing new connections, including mitosis to create new neurons.

In the absence of regular use of specific areas of the CYTO neural system, the density of neuroglia connections decreases including the integrity of neurons-neuroglia connections.

The presence of high quantities of poisons such as aluminum, transfats and other artificially created toxins can cause neuroglia to fail to undertake mitosis as well as support existing neural health, resulting in the gradual degradation of the cerebrum and faster onset of death.
