Key Points

4 points
1

The atlases combine several advanced mapping techniques.

2

They trace how neurons and glia form, move, and become different kinds.

3

Multiple species are included, creating a comparative developmental guide.

4

The result is a dynamic reference that shows brain growth over time.

Summary

The atlases map the formation, migration, and diversification of neurons and glial cells over time.

By including data from several species, the atlases provide a dynamic reference instead of a static diagram.

This tool lets researchers study brain development as a continuous process.
