Researchers just released the most detailed maps yet of how the brain differentiate from stem cells. In five new Nature papers, researchers tracked hundreds of thousands of early brain cells, revealing the precise molecular steps that create our neurons and support cells.

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for neuroscientists.

In a recent study, offering buprenorphine as a switching option showed no major differences in pain or opioid reduction. Researchers suggest future work should focus on integrating buprenorphine discussions more prominently into chronic pain care plans.

Recently researchers traced hundreds of thousands of developing brain cells, revealing precise molecular events that shape cognition. These atlases will help scientists pinpoint genes, pathways, and time points relevant to conditions.

A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for neuroscientists.
