Neuroglia are the cells in the nervous system that are not neurons. They help maintain and protect nervous tissue by supporting neurons, shaping the surrounding chemical environment, contributing to protective barriers, insulating nerve pathways with myelin, aiding development, and sharing materials with neurons; they may also take part in signaling, though that role is not yet well understood.
