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. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. 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. The orderly movement of glial cells through the telencephalon. The movement of a glial cell along the axons in a lateral line nerve. Generation of cells within the nervous system.
