Glial cell Nervous system
Neuropil associated glial cell of the central nervous system that has a dendritic morphology and elaborates inside the associated synaptic neuropil (Awasaki et al., 2008. Their nuclei are found at synaptic neuropil surfaces and they extend branched filiform or lamelliform processes that pervade the neuropil (Hartenstein, 2011. It expresses prospero, which specifies astrocyte-like, rather than ensheathing, fate in lineages that produce neuropil glia (Peco et al., 2016; Kato et al., 2020. (Hartenstein, 2011, Stork et al., 2014, Kato et al., 2020, Peco et al., 2016, Doherty et al., 2009, Awasaki et al., 2008)
