Abstract
The cellular basis for cognition is generally believed to derive from neurons. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Han et al. (2013) transplant human glial progenitors into mouse brains and thereby improve their learning and memory and implicate a previously unknown role for glial cells in contributing to cognition.
