Interestingly, they found that these numbers were in line with what was expected from other primates. 85.08 ± 6.92 billion cells are located in the cerebellum.170.68 ± 13.86 billion cells Among these Each brain hemisphere (parts of the cerebrum) has four sections, called lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital. Total number of neuronsnot enlarged prefrontal regionhallmark of human brain Aug 9, 2016, 3:54 PM Share A new scientific study puts the final nail in the coffin of a long-standing theory to explain human’s remarkable cognitive abilities: that human evolution involved the selective expansion of the brain’s prefrontal cortex.Using computational imaging software, they counted total numbers of cells in different regions of the brain, and came up with the following numbers: Then, they found that NeuN positively-stained cells, indicative of neurons, is roughly equal to the number of NeuN negatively stained cells, indicative of nonneuronal cells, or presumed glial cells. With the DAPI stain, they were able to label all cells.
Once completely homogenized, the entire sample was stained with DAPI, a marker of DNA. They used a homogenized whole brain to come to a conclusion about cell number. Glia 'outnumber neurons by as much as 50 to one,' we wrote, echoing Eric Kandels widely used textbook, The Principles of Neural Science, which states: 'Glial cells far outnumber neuronsthere. The updated number comes from a study called “ Equal numbers of neuronal and nonneuronal cells make the human brain an isometrically scaled‐up primate brain” published by the Herculano‐Houzel lab in the Journal of Comparative Neurology.
