3D map plots human brain-cell 'antennae' in exquisite detail
A new map of 56,000 cells in the outer layer of the human brain could inform research into a whole class of diseases.
Tiny, hairlike "antennae" protrude from the surface of brain cells, and now, scientists have unveiled a detailed map of these wires across the whole human cortex. They hope the new map will guide future research into a class of diseases that cause these structures to malfunction.
