International experts hailed the work. Doctor Javier de Felipe of Spain’s Cajal Institute called it “a highly significant achievement”, while Australian neuroscientist George Paxinos — whose own mouse atlases are lab staples — praised the “unprecedented” data quality.

The team aims to expand the stereotaxic topographic atlas’ applications, from testing drugs to guiding brain-machine interfaces. Luo also highlighted Hainan province’s unique resources: “With our primate research resources, this work could bridge mouse studies to human brain exploration.”

“While we’ve mapped distant galaxies, the human brain remains one of science’s final frontiers,” Luo said. The stereotaxic topographic atlas now bridges this gap, proving how microscopic breakthroughs – down to a single micron — can illuminate humanity’s most complex organ.
