Fetal development of the brain identified down to the smallest detail
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a detailed molecular atlas of the fetal development of the brain. The study published in the top journal Nature is based on so-called single-cell technology and has been done on mice. In this way, researchers have identified almost 800 different cells that are active during fetal development – many times more than previously known."Brain development is well described and the main cell types are known. What is new about our atlas is the high resolution and detail," says Sten Linnarsson, head of research and professor at the
