The Base Of The Team.....

a: Glial cell ~
b: the linemen on a football team

What: "Glial cells don't get much attention in neurobiology textbooks because neurons get all the press, even though glial cells are about 10 times more common than neurons, but this would be like on a football team where the quarterback gets all the publicity and the linemen are there and important but don't get any publicity. Glial cells are like the linemen; they have vital roles in brain function."
