The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. The orderly movement of a glial cell, non-neuronal cells that provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system. The orderly movement of an astrocyte cell through the telencephalon. The orderly movement of an astrocyte, a class of large neuroglial (macroglial) cells in the central nervous system, the largest and most numerous neuroglial cells in the brain and spinal cord.
