Abstract:
Recent studies suggest that glial cells play an impor-tant role in nervous system. Like astrocytes in the central nervous system,satellite glial cells( SGCs) also participate in the physio-logical and pathological processes of the peripheral nervous sys-tem. SGCs affect neuronal functions through neuro-glial interac-tions. In this review,we summarize the current understanding of how SGCs affect the function of neurons.
