Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radial glia are specialized glia that assist in the initial migration of young neurons during brain development. Astroglia provide structural support and nutrients to neurons but do not play a major role in neuronal migration. Microglia are immune cells in the nervous system and do not assist in neuronal migration. Oligodendrocytes play a role in myelination but do not assist in neuronal migration.
