The human brain has 170 BILLION cells. And scientists have discovered more than 3,000 different brain cells types. A new, largest-of-its-kind map of these cells could help scientists understand what makes humans unique in the animal kingdom and the roles different brain cells play in disease.

Science correspondent Jon Hamilton talks to host Regina G. Barber about the findings from this new map, a product of the NIH's BRAIN initiative. Plus, what the heck splatter neurons have to do with all of this!
