Consensus Drives Collaboration: In-Depth Cell Analysis Can Accelerate Understanding Of The Brain

A large team of researchers has made great strides in developing a census and atlas of the cell types found in the mammalian primary motor cortex, advancing efforts to classify the vast complex network of diverse brain cells. Their results show that this brain region has as many as 116 different cell types, and the findings expand understanding of how brain cell types are organized. This effort will not only contribute to the eventual mapping of the entire brain, but it can also fuel a deeper understanding of the brain’s neural networks and how neural irregularities affect the body and mind.
