Whole, healthy human brain data is now available on the Allen Brain Cell Atlas! 🧠💻 This dataset includes more than three million cells sampled from dissections from three adult donors. Samples were assayed using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and the resulting cells were clustered and categorized by neurotransmitter type, region, anatomical division, sex, and subject. The new dataset includes non-neuronal and neuronal plots. Access the neuronal data: https://lnkd.in/gzgifTRu Access the nonneuronal data: https://lnkd.in/gMdRtvPD This research is funded by The National Institutes of Health Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative – a partnership of 10 Institutes and Centers with the common goal of developing innovative neurotechnologies. #studyBRAIN

Now published in PNAS, check out our recent study: Unsupervised pattern identification in spatial gene expression atlas reveals mouse brain regions beyond established ontology: https://lnkd.in/dEB37EkQ We combine stability-driven nonnegative matrix factorization with spatial correlation analysis to explore brain regions and ontology in 3D spatial gene expression profiles. Our findings reveal a gene expression-defined anatomical ontology and interpretable region-specific genetic architecture captured by the marker genes and spatial co-expression networks in the mouse brain. Code available here: https://lnkd.in/dtymd4gC Great work by Rob C., Yu Wang, R. Patrick Xian, Alex Lee in collaboration with the Allen Institute for Brain Science's Hongkui Zeng and Bosiljka Tasic and University of California, Berkeley's Bin Yu. And special thanks to Weill Neurohub and and Sandler Program for Breakthrough Biomedical Research for funding our research.

Researchers at the Allen Institute for Brain Science are developing a new weapon against #ALS: an engineered virus that could deliver future therapies directly to the affected neurons. #Microscopy from this project won Silver 🥈 in The National Institutes of Health’s 2024 BRAIN Initiative photo contest! Congratulations! https://bit.ly/3X6loGm

"The human brain is the most powerful, flexible, and energy-efficient computational machine known to humankind. To help unravel the mysteries of what makes us human, BRAIN is building a new generation of scientists and engineers who are showing us how to create and work in new team environments never before seen in the neurosciences." John Ngai and other NIH leaders reflect on a decade of the NIH BRAIN Initiative: 🧰 A tool-driven revolution ⛵️ Lifting all boats 🔬 Changing the way we do science 🧠 #studyBRAIN The National Institutes of Health Access the full story in the comments 👇
