Tax deferred investments not only help investors avoid cash outflows for taxes in the immediate future, but they can help investors generate higher returns. That's because the money that would normally be used for tax payments is instead allowed to remain in the account and earn a return.
Glial cell: A supportive cell in the central nervous system. Unlike neurons, glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses.
Glia have a role in the regulation of repair of neurons after injury. In the central nervous system (CNS), glia suppress repair. Glial cells known as astrocytes enlarge and proliferate to form a scar and produce inhibitory molecules that inhibit regrowth of a damaged or severed axon. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), glial cells known as Schwann cells promote repair.
