His landmark research on oligodendroglia, originally published in Spanish in 1928, has been translated into English for the first time by Dr. José R. Iglesias-Rozas and Prof. Manuel Garrosa. The book establishes definitively the concept of oligodendroglia and describes in great detail its structure, varieties, function, origin and pathology, providing a thorough review. The entire 1928 writing is presented, including the 79 excellent drawings and photographs from the original publication. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo complement the original book and provide historical context, the translators have also included an introduction to the research and a biography of Pío del Rio-Hortega.
