The Scientist · By Sneha Khedkar ·
The Brief · written from 2 sources
- An international team profiled nearly 26 million cells from the basal ganglia across multiple species.
- The work produced a cross-species cell reference database.
- The atlas is intended to support research into conditions including Parkinson's disease and addiction.
Why it matters
The atlas gives researchers a shared, detailed cell-level reference for a brain region tied to many disorders, which can be used to compare findings across species.
Who’s affected
- neuroscientists studying the basal ganglia
- researchers working on Parkinson's disease and addiction
- researchers comparing brain cell types across mammalian species
An international team of scientists mapped millions of cells in the basal ganglia of multiple species, offering new insights into neurological conditions and diseases.
