Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- An Arizona State University-led team published a new high-resolution atlas of the aging primate brain.
- The atlas is intended to show how aging differs across brain regions, cell types and sexes.
- The work aims to help explain how aging raises the risk of brain diseases.

## Why it matters

The atlas provides a cell-level and region-level map of brain aging in primates, which can guide future research into age-related brain disease.
