Salk Institute Researchers Help Create Detailed 3D Single-Cell Atlas of Human Basal Ganglia

Researchers from the Salk Institute and global partners have developed a comprehensive 3D single-cell atlas of the human basal ganglia, a brain region vital for movement, habit, and reward. This atlas, part of the NIH BRAIN Initiative, provides genetic and epigenetic data at a single-cell level. It offers new avenues for understanding and treating neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases.
