All brains are made of this: a fundamental building block of brain matter with matching neuronal and glial masses
How does the size of the glial and neuronal cells that compose brain tissue vary across brain structures and species? Our previous studies indicate that average neuronal size is highly variable, while average glial cell size is more constant. Measuring whole cell sizes in vivo, however, is a dauntin...
