Its astounding how little we still understand about the brain in 2024.
To me, it’s more surprising that we actually know quite a lot about the brain - and yet we still manage to discover new things about it, even fundamentally new like new cell types. Wow.
I hope their next discovery isn’t that it was just microplastics floating around in there.
