<p>Salk scientists, as a part of a larger&nbsp;National Institute of Health&rsquo;s <em>Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative </em>collaboration, analyzed more than half a million brain cells from three human brains to identify previously unknown brain cell subtypes. Their&nbsp;research paves the way for understanding how certain brain cell types go awry in brain disorders and diseases.</p>

In a tour de force for neuroscience, teams of researchers have published a voluminous set of brain-cell atlases for humans and other primates. The atlases are detailed in 21 research papers appearing in Science, Science Advances and Science Translational Medicine — and could point scientists toward new strategies for addressing mental conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia to epilepsy and ADHD. “We need to understand the specifics of the human brain if we hope to understan

The collection offers a glimpse into differences in cell composition — across people and brain regions — that may shape neural function.

/PRNewswire/ -- Scientists have just unveiled a massive effort to understand our own brains and those of our closest primate relatives....
