On Oct. 12, 2023, the National Institute of health (NIH) announced that a group of international scientists had mapped the genetic, cellular, and structural makeup of the human brain and the nonhuman primate brain. This understanding of brain structure, achieved by funding through the National Institutes of Healthﾒs Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologiesﾮ Initiative, or The BRAIN Initiativeﾮ, allows for a deeper knowledge of the cellular basis of brain function and dysfunction, helping pave the way for a new generation of precision therapeutics for people with mental disorders and other disorders of the brain.

The findings appeared in a compendium of 24 papers across Science, Science Advances, and Science Translational Medicine.
