A Brand New Type of Brain Cell | SciShow News

A new type of brain cell, the Rose Hip neuron, has been discovered by research teams from Hungary and the US. This neuron, potentially unique to humans, was identified using traditional and modern techniques. It is part of inhibitory neurons and may regulate information flow in the brain. The discovery highlights the limitations of using lab mice for neurological studies and opens new avenues for understanding psychiatric disorders.
