The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. Any process that decreases the frequency or extent of the multiplication or reproduction of Schwann cells, resulting in the expansion of their population. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell in the peripheral nervous system. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of cell proliferation. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of neurogenesis, the origin and formation of neurons. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of gliogenesis, the formation of mature glia. The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell proliferation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of gliogenesis, the formation of mature glia. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of glial cell proliferation. Any process that stops or decreases the rate or extent of glial cell proliferation. The multiplication or reproduction of glial cells by cell division, resulting in the expansion of their population. Glial cells exist throughout the nervous system, and include Schwann cells, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes among others.
