Mapping the Complexity of the Mammalian Brain: Unveiling Secrets and Variety

Scientists have created a complete cell atlas of a whole mammalian brain, specifically the mouse brain, providing detailed information on the type, location, and molecular characteristics of over 32 million cells. This atlas serves as a map for understanding the complex organization and connectivity of cells in the brain, paving the way for a better understanding of the human brain and the development of precision therapeutics for mental and neurological disorders. The findings were funded by the National Institutes of Health's BRAIN Initiative and published in Nature.
