A groundbreaking study has unveiled a detailed atlas of the brain’s mitochondria, revealing that areas responsible for higher cognitive functions are equipped with more energy resources. Conducted by researchers at Columbia University, this study provides critical insights into how mitochondrial distribution and specialization affect brain health and disease. Understanding these energy dynamics opens new doors for exploring the origins of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, which offer potential pathways for innovative treatments.
