🥼 Dr. Debra Silver's team from @DukeMGM discover that non-muscle #myosins play a role in mediating #interneuron organization!

They also reveal new mechanisms 🛠️ for dictating radial #glial cell integrity and #cortical architecture.

Einstein 🦝 #raccoons 🤔

These critters have more #glial cells in their #hippocampus 🧠 (area for learning & memory); these cells guard against #inflammation & help #communication among #neurons (storing memories & underpinning complex behaviors).

More glial cells = more adaptive cognition.

Einstein’s brain had more glial cells than the brains 🧠 of average intelligence men.

Raccoons may be pests, BUT intelligent pests!!
