Using advanced technologies that profile individual cells, we unveiled an atlas cataloging the location and type of every cell in the adult mouse brain. From >8 million cells in multiple data modalities, the team identified over 5,300 cell types – far more than known before – and pinpointed their locations within the brain’s intricate geography. This study is part of a set of 10 papers in Nature that will likely define the mouse whole brain for years to come.
