A study by the Allen Institute for Brain Science, using an advanced mapping tool called BARseq, revealed that specific combinations of neurons provide distinct identities to brain regions in mice. Sensory experiences, such as vision, are crucial in maintaining these unique cellular signatures, as shown by the significant changes in the visual cortex when sight is deprived.
The study underscores the pivotal role of sensory experiences in shaping and maintaining each brain region’s unique cellular identity. The scale and speed of BARseq provides scientists with a powerful new tool to delve deeper into the intricacies of the brain, Chen said.
