The Washington Post (10/12, Johnson) reports researchers on Thursday released “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.” The findings, developed under the Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies initiative and published in 21 studies in Science and other journals, “are starting to open up the black box of the brain by providing an initial parts list for the most complex organ scientists have ever studied.”
