Science is Fun Fridays!
Mice have 100 million brain cells, whereas humans have about 100 billion. But for years, scientists have turned to mice for study, because the cell types are similar in the cortex.
Neuroscientists at the Allen Institute for Brain Science have created a high resolution 3D atlas of a mouse brain.
In 2016 they released a 3D mapping of the cortex, as part of the Mouse Common Coordinate Framework (CCF).
And now, CCFv3 can pinpoint individual cells' location. The construction came from the average brain anatomy of almost 1,700 mice.
