Unveiling the Untold Variety: Complete Cellular Mapping of a Mammalian Brain

Researchers have created the first complete cell atlas of a mammalian brain, specifically a mouse, providing detailed information on over 32 million cells, their types, locations, molecular profiles, and connectivity. This breakthrough offers a foundational map for understanding human brain functions and developing precision therapies for mental and neurological disorders. The atlas encompasses structural, transcriptomic, and epigenetic data, providing a blueprint for brain circuit operations and functioning. The findings were funded by the NIH BRAIN Initiative® and published in 10 papers in Nature.

Mapping the Intricate Landscape of the Mammalian Brain

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 human brain and lays the foundation for the development of precision therapeutics for mental and neurological disorders. The atlas includes information on cell structure, transcriptome, and epigenome, as well as neurotransmitters and neuropeptides used by different cells. The findings were funded by the NIH's BRAIN Initiative and published in Nature. The next step is to complete cell maps of the human brain and nonhuman primate brain.

Unraveling Brain Mysteries with AI's Self-Learning Models

Researchers at MIT have found evidence suggesting that the brain may use a process similar to self-supervised learning, a technique used in artificial intelligence (AI), to develop an intuitive understanding of the physical world. By training neural networks using self-supervised learning, the resulting models generated activity patterns similar to those observed in the brains of animals performing similar tasks. This breakthrough could provide insights into the inner workings of the mammalian brain and enhance our understanding of AI.
