Scientists create ‘brain map’ targeting Alzheimer’s and other age-related diseases

A new study from researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies offers one of the most detailed looks yet at how the brain’s molecular landscape shifts over time. By examining tens of thousands of individual brain cells, the team created a large-scale atlas showing how aging alters the brain’s genetic control systems across different cell types and regions.  The atlas spans eight brain regions and 36 distinct brain cell types, providin…
