50k(ish) is right! If you're as surprised by this as me and @npp_journal - you should be! Our LC is about 125% smaller than expected for our neocortex given scaling in other primates. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

While estimates vary a bit across studies depending on methodologies, the human LC contains somewhere in the range of 50K. LC neurons are the primary source of norepinephrine for the brain,

Neural correlates of ingroup bias for prosociality in rats

A distinct neural network, including the nucleus accumbens as a central hub, is active when rats are exposed to trapped ingroup members they had previously helped escape a trap, but not for outgroup...

Really amazing to work on this with such amazing scientists. This project was born out of @UCBerkeley biologists stepping up to a call for service. I'm really proud to see what can happen when a group like this puts laser focus on one goal and grateful to have played a part.
