Abstract
Astrocytes are the most proliferate glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS); they are considered as the supporting cells in the CNS, and play a big role in behavioral, circuit, and synaptic functions. Astrocytes are also important for neuronal repair, neurogenesis, and survival. Astrocytes play a main role in brain protection, by maintaining a regulated ion balance and blood flow, and preserving an antioxidant functions in brain. In this chapter, the authors elaborated an overview of the role of astrocytes on the developing brain.
