The two main types of cells in the brain are neurons, also known as nerve cells, and glial cells, also known as neuroglia. [1] There are many types of neuron, and several types of glial cell.

The different types of neurological cell classes (ependymal cells, purple and endothelial cells, red), subpopulations (A=astrocytes, blue; M=microglia, brown; N=neuron, green; O=oligodendrocytes, orange), and subcellular locations (axon, …

The main cell types characterizing the CNS are essentially neurons and glial cells, whereby the first are regarded as the cellular substrate of the cognitive abilities of the CNS. The basic morphology of a neuron consists of three main parts:

2021年4月26日 · What are the two main types of cells found in the human brain, how do they interact with one another, and what are their functions?

Explore aggregated and summarized multi-modal information about human, marmoset, and mouse cell types in MOp. MapMyCells transforms cell types from a concept in publications to a tool for public research. Explore all our patch-seq dataset for mammalian neurons.

Cell Types: Overview of the Data. This brain cell database contains a survey of biological features derived from single cell data, from both human and mouse. It is part of a multi-year project to create a census of cells in the mammalian brain.

2024年9月23日 · The Human Cell Types team is working to generate unified structural ontology, parcellation criteria and 2-D/3D anatomical atlases across mammalian brains to support accurate and consistent brain region sampling, anatomical mapping of cell types, and correlation and integration of multimodal data.

2023年10月12日 · A schematic of brain cells and related diseases. The bottom graph shows cell type association with 19 neuropsychiatric disorders and traits; darker red indicates stronger associations.

2023年9月20日 · The brain is a mosaic made up of different cell types, each with their own unique properties. The most common brain cells are neurons and non-neuron cells called glia. The average adult human brain contains approximately 100 …

Classifying these cells into types is one of the essential approaches to defining the diversity of brain’s building blocks. We refer to such classifications as cell type “taxonomies,” and resources for understanding what taxonomies are and how to use them are included below.
