The map of human brain mitochondria is a groundbreaking achievement
Researchers have shared a cube-sized map of cognitive deficits in adults with mitochondrial disease (MD). A slice of frozen human brains was divided from a 54-year-old donor, who died of a heart attack, into 703 cube-sized cubes. The CubeMap is equivalent to the size of units that make up standard 3D images of the brain.
