What are glial cells? 🤔 🧠 The word glia comes from the greek word for "glue" Glial cells live in the brain and it was originally thought they acted like glue that just help keep neurons together... However we know now that glial cells do a lot of important jobs! #glialcells #brain

Is it too niche to quilt a pyramidal neuron onto a quilt?

An off white quilt is on a long arm quilting frame, the machine is stopped over the navy blue quilted outline of a pyramidal neuron.
