A previously unrecognized class of neurons emerges from a nanoscale reconstruction of 1 cubic millimeter of human brain tissue, according to a new study by Alexander Shapson-Coe, et al. in Science. The tissue sample, which extends from layer 1 to the white matter in the anterior middle temporal gyrus, contains about 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses, two-thirds of which are excitatory.
