FEBRUARY 6, 2017 - USING NEW TECHNOLOGY, SCIENTISTS HAVE CATALOGUED MORE THAN 20,000 BRAIN CELLS IN ONE REGION OF THE MOUSE HYPOTHALAMUS. THE STUDY REVEALED SOME 50 DISTINCT CELL TYPES, INCLUDING A PREVIOUSLY UNDESCRIBED NEURON TYPE THAT MAY UNDERLIE SOME OF THE GENETIC RISK OF HUMAN OBESITY.
THIS CATALOG OF CELL TYPES MARKS THE FIRST TIME NEUROSCIENTISTS HAVE ESTABLISHED A COMPREHENSIVE "PARTS LIST" FOR THIS AREA OF THE BRAIN. THE NEW INFORMATION WILL ALLOW RESEARCHERS TO ESTABLISH WHICH CELLS PLAY WHAT ROLE IN THIS REGION OF THE BRAIN.
