A trove of 21 scientific papers paints the most detailed and complex picture yet of the human brain.
The vast initiative catalogs the many types of cells, such as the neurons above, that exist in human brains. Scientists on Thursday unveiled the most detailed and complex portrait yet of the human brain in a dazzling catalog of more than 3,000 types of brain cells that collectively give rise to emotion, thought, memory and disease.a ongoing $3 billion government-funded effort to develop new tools and technology to understand and map the human brain.
Henry Greely, a law professor at Stanford University who specializes in the ethics of biomedical technologies and was previously involved in a council that helped guide the project, likened it to sending a spaceship to circle another planet and take photos. “You see where there are mountains and valleys, and you see the ice caps, and that is what the work on the brain has done,” he said.
during neurological disease. In one study, scientists examined the brains of children who had died of various causes to see if those who suffered inflammation showed signs of it affecting their brains at the cellular level. They found two key types of neurons, Golgi and Purkinje neurons, were altered. And now they are examining the brains of adults diagnosed with schizophrenia and autism to see if similar changes exist.
