Unveiling the Unprecedented Detail of the Human Brain: A Revolutionary Brain Cell Atlas

Scientists have created the largest and most detailed atlas of the human brain, revealing the arrangement and inner workings of 3,300 types of brain cells, many of which were previously unknown. The research, part of the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network, used cutting-edge techniques to map the cells found in the brains of humans, mice, and nonhuman primates. The atlas provides insights into the similarities and differences between human and nonhuman primate brains, and opens up new possibilities for understanding neurological diseases and what makes us human.
