Scientists unveil first complete cellular map of adult mouse brain

Great news! Amazing stuff!

"Six years and 32 million cells later, scientists have created the first full cellular map of a mammalian brain.

In a set of 10 papers in Nature today, a network of researchers unveiled an atlas cataloging the location and type of every cell in the adult mouse brain. Using advanced technologies that profile individual cells, the teams identified over 5,300 cell types – far more than known before – and pinpointed their locations within the brain’s intricate geography. ..."
