NEW DELHI: Scientists forming an international collaboration have mapped the genetic, cellular, and structural makeup of the human brain and the nonhuman primate brain . Along with new knowledge about the brain cells , they share new insights about our nervous systems' cellular makeup across many regions of the brain and what makes the human brain distinctive. Hundreds of scientists from around the world worked together to complete a range of studies to demonstrate how a suite of scalable techniques can be used to study the detailed organisation of the human brain at unprecedented resolution. The detailed mapping of the brain allows for a deeper knowledge of its function and dysfunction at the cellular level, helping pave the way for a new generation of precision therapeutics for people with mental disorders and other illnesses of the brain, the researchers said. Their findings appear in more than 20 papers published across the journals Science, Science Advances and ...
