Researchers release a 25.5 million-cell atlas of the basal ganglia
An international research collaboration published a cross-species reference atlas of 25.5 million cells from the basal ganglia, a brain region linked to neurological and psychiatric conditions.
Researchers have released a reference atlas covering 25.5 million basal-ganglia cells from human, macaque and marmoset brains. The work appears across 26 papers in Cell Press journals, Nature reported.
The project mapped cell characteristics, locations and activity-related features to support research on conditions including Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and addiction.
