The study introduces a comprehensive framework for comparing the dendritic morphology of human and mouse cortical neurons. By integrating anatomical, functional, and transcriptomic data, researchers established precise correspondences between brain regions across both species to analyze over 18,000 digital neuron reconstructions. The findings reveal that human neurons possess a more complex, compact branching architecture than mouse neurons, a difference that persists even after normalizing for size. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that human neurons exhibit significantly higher…
