Two new atlases catalog the location and type of all cells across the adult mouse brain — including many that have never before been identified, according to two new unpublished studies.
The resources represent “a culmination of landmark efforts” to try to establish a census of cell types, says Tomasz Nowakowksi, associate professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the work. “It’s presumably something that has been a dream since the days of Santiago Ramon y Cajal.”
