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 results fundamentally alter scientists' understanding of how Alzheimer's harms the brain and will guide the development of new treatments for this devastating disorder." - Richard Hodes, Director of National Institute on Aging (NIA) Thank you David Nield for sharing our recent study on the early stages of Alzheimer's disease in ScienceAlert! Check out his summary of the study's highlights, including which neurons may be some of the first impacted: https://lnkd.in/gnb_TKSG #EndAlz #Alzheimers #AlzheimersDisease

In a study with UW Medicine and Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, researchers have identified some of the first neurons lost in the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease and potential future pathways to #EndAlz. By identifying early neuron loss and detailed cellular changes over disease progression, this research provides crucial insights into #AlzheimersDisease timeline, or "pathology clock." Using advanced single-cell genomic technologies and novel machine learning models, the team mapped out a timeline of the disease’s cellular and molecular changes. In the process, they found that Sst neurons as one of the earliest cell types lost in Alzheimer's Disease. The Seattle Alzheimer’s Disease Brain Cell Atlas (SEA-AD) consortium is supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
