General Information
Term cell body glial cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00001297 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Glial cell with a nucleus amongst the neuronal cell bodies in the cell body rind. It is irregularly shaped, with processes that enclose the neuronal cell bodies.[ FlyBase:FBrf0082171 FlyBase:FBrf0214261 ]
Also Known As"CBG" ; "cell body-associated glial cell" ; "cortex associated CNS glial cell" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
CommentGlial cells associated with axonal tracts (such as those associated with nerve roots) are excluded from this class of glial cells (Ito et al., 1995). Modeled as 'part of' their 'cell body rind' regions, though in practice some cell body glia have small projections into the neuropil - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1373-1705.
