How Indian scientists are mapping the brain's last frontier

Indian scientists at the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre have created the world's most detailed 3D atlas of the human brainstem at cellular resolution, combining MRI scans with microscopic tissue images from various age groups. This digital map identifies over 200 cell clusters and nerve pathways, providing a tool to better understand brain function and disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and stroke. The atlas aims to link gross imaging with cellular detail, facilitating research and potentially improving surgical navigation and disease comprehension.
