Although glial cells ensheath synapses throughout the nervous system, the functional consequences of this relationship are uncertain. Recent studies suggest that glial cells may promote the formation of synapses and help to maintain their function by providing nerve terminals with energy substrates and glutamate precursors.
尽管神经胶质细胞包裹着整个神经系统中的突触，但这种关系的功能后果尚不确定。最近的研究表明，神经胶质细胞可能促进突触的形成，并通过为神经末梢提供能量底物和谷氨酸前体来帮助维持其功能。
