The ratio observed does vary from one brain structure to another, and can be a bit higher in certain sub-cortical structures that contain many glial cells, but in the cortex, the ratio of glial cells to neurons never exceeds two to one. For the brain as a whole, the ratio does thus tend toward one to one. In this respect, humans are no different from other primates or mammals, in which this same ratio is found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Thus, the refinement of neuron-counting methods, like that of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrain.mcgill.ca\/flash\/capsules\/outil_bleu13.html\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">tools<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrain.mcgill.ca\/flash\/capsules\/outil_bleu03.html\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">techniques<\/span><\/a> in the past, has quashed yet another myth that purported to differentiate humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.
