Brain

Tissue ID: UBERON:0000955
Description: The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate, and most invertebrate, animals. Some primitive animals such as jellyfish and starfish have a decentralized nervous system without a brain, while sponges lack any nervous system at all. In vertebrates, the brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the primary sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell[WP].
  • In Brain, 4814 cell markers are reported for 177 cell types in 31 conditions across 5 species, supported by 261 publications.
  • Astrocyte is mostly reported in Brain with 59 publications.
