Whole, healthy human brain data is now on the ABC Atlas! Dataset incl. 3 million+ cells sampled from dissections from adult donors. Samples underwent snRNA sequencing and were clustered and categorized by neurotransmitter, region, and more. ABC Atlas: portal.brain-map.org/atlases…

Excited to share the single-cell adult #macaque brain atlas—our contribution to a big week of #brainatlas preprints! W/ @XingfanH, @MichaelLouisPl1, @JShendure, & @SMack_Lab—we profiled 4.2M nuclei across 30 regions from females+males. Here’s what we found bit.ly/3CL0zpQ

Altogether our study highlights enormous challenges ahead of the neuroscience community, as we aim to understand the unique assemblies of neurons and glia that populate each brain region.
