Neurons may be more well known, but #DYK that microglia outnumber them almost 3:1? Microglia and astrocytes play essential roles in the central nervous system, contributing to many functions, including homeostasis, innate immune responses and synaptic support. #BrainAwarenessWeek

Age is the greatest factor for developing #NeurodegenerativeDisease, the gradual and progressive loss of brain cells, leading to cognitive and other dysfunction. The most common, #Alzheimers and #Parkinsons, impact a combined 7 million people in the US. #BrainAwarenessWeek
