MIT Researchers Build Striatum Cell Atlas to Guide Brain-Disorder Research
An MIT-led study used single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial mapping to identify 31 neuronal subgroups in the human striatum, a brain region involved in movement, decision-making, habits, and reward. The atlas highlighted cell populations linked to addiction, depression, and schizophrenia, while also revealing differences between human and mouse neurons relevant to Huntington’s disease and opioid research.
