thousands types of brain cells (for those who like long lists)

I started looking into brain data about five years ago, and gave a talk at
Brain Informataics. about the widespread lack of common sense knowledge,
despite decades of research and billions of public funding

 Being an ontologist, and system thinker, my first  candid question was
HOW MANY TYPES OF BRAIN CELLS ARE THERE? (everybody knows about neurons,
but what else?) My audience of researchers and neurologists did not have
any answer at the time

But they got down to work, seemingly

I am pleased to report that a dataset has been published showing more tha
3000 types of brain cells,. Isnt that fantastic? That I have not wasted my
life, I mean

There are questions/limitations as to the methodology (including the
categorization approach)  but a good starting point

For those like me who like lists, characterization, and the brain, this
dataset  makes good conversation for the weekend

Can the KR for this dataset be improved? I think so  (takes welcome)
