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

"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 👇

My favorite part of attending conferences is learning about all the creative and exciting ways researchers from around the world are using Allen Institute for Brain Science data! This week at #AAIC, I got to learn how how others are using our new Alzheimer’s disease single cell atlas (sea-ad.org). The paper isn’t in press yet but can be viewed on bioRxiv https://lnkd.in/gfdT5YbH in the meantime. It’s exciting to hear people say “I found your data and already used it in a publication” before this paper is even out yet; one of the many benefits of #OpenScience! If you have used Allen Institute data for research or teaching, please let us know: https://lnkd.in/gCAnTqtJ
