Opens up spaces between neurons so glial cells can  help flush

       out toxic molecules including beta-amyloid proteins (plaques of

       Alzheimer’s Disease)

    Collects (reuptake) norepinephrine and serotonin from the

       synapse (synaptic gap) so they can be reused

    Prepares food for the neurons (neurotrophins)

    Increases production of oligodendrocyte glial cells that form the myelin

       sheath to wrap neuronal axons
