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

At the same time, the scientists observed both the structure and activity of the neurons' main body (or, "soma") and of the spines along their dendrites.

Neurodevelopment is a highly coordinated process involving cell differentiation, neurite extension, axon guidance, and dendritic formation, forming the structural basis for cognitive function. Metal ...
