Molecular mapping of 8 million cells brings cerebral architecture into focus
The Brief
- University of California, Irvine researchers mapped approximately 8 million cells in regions deep within the human brain.
- The mapping identified 60 distinct cell types.
- The study shows how these cell types form cellular communities.
Why it matters
The work provides a foundational molecular reference for investigating brain systems, which neuroscientists can use as a baseline for studying brain structure and function.
Who’s affected
- neuroscientists
