New technique identifies previously unknown human neurons.

Under a microscope, it can be difficult to tell the difference between any two neurons, the cells in our brain responsible for storing and processing information. The mammalian brain contains many diverse neuronal types, yet the global medical community lacks single-cell epigenomic assays to identify and characterize them.  Now, a study led by Salk Institute develops a method capable of profiling chemical modifications in DNA … Continue reading New technique identifies previously unknown human neurons.
