During development, their radial processes serve as guides for migrating granule neurons and their terminal endfeet tile to form the glia limitans. As the cerebellum matures, Bergmann glia perform important roles in synaptic transmission and synapse maintenance, while continuing to serve as essential structural elements. The glial genes, Slc1a3, Fabp7, S100β and Sept4 are four widely used astroglial markers, and their expression in Bergmann glia (but not Purkinje cells or other cerebellar neurons) has been confirmed by previous studies.
