Unveiling the Cellular Blueprint of Human Brain Networks

Researchers at Rutgers University have mapped the alignment of different brain cell types with functional networks in the human cortex using post-mortem gene expression atlases. This study links cellular distributions to networks involved in sensory processing and decision-making, enhancing our understanding of brain organization and its implications for cognition and mental health. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, provide a framework for future research on the cellular basis of brain function and disorders.
