Researchers have discovered that receptor patterns play a significant role in determining organizational principles in the brain. The study, which examined macaque brains, mapped out neurotransmitter receptors, indicating that individual neurons could be distinguished based on their functions. Such research could also help to identify targets for new treatments for brain disorders. The results of the study could help develop further research into the brain’s organizational structure.
