Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

The evolutionary path from dinosaurs to birds included the development of a tiny wrist bone that ultimately proved crucial for stabilizing wings in flight. A new study suggests that the bone appeared ...
