Human basal ganglia atlas reveals how genes are regulated in individual cells
The Brief
- Researchers, including from the Salk Institute, published a 3D atlas of the human basal ganglia with single-cell genetic and epigenetic detail.
- The atlas is presented as a collection of 28 papers across Cell Press journals.
- The work maps how genes are regulated in individual cells of the basal ganglia, a group of brain structures.
Why it matters
The atlas provides a detailed single-cell reference for gene regulation in a brain region central to movement and many neurological and psychiatric conditions, which can support future research comparisons.
Who’s affected
- neuroscientists
- researchers studying gene regulation and epigenetics
- clinicians and researchers working on basal ganglia disorders
