The Allen Mouse and Human Brain Atlases are projects within the Allen Institute for Brain Science which seek to combine genomics with neuroanatomy by creating gene expression maps for the mouse and human brain. They were initiated in September 2003 with a $100 million donation from Paul G. Allen and the first atlas went public in September 2006 ...
On July 17, 2008, the Allen Institute for Brain Science launched the online Allen Spinal Cord Atlas. [4] The spinal cord atlas is an interactive, genome-wide map showing where each gene is expressed, or "turned on", throughout the mouse spinal cord. It is set up like the Allen Institute's earlier atlas of the adult mouse brain. [7]
The Allen Institute for Brain Science is now known to have solved that mystery by recently finishing an extensive, detailed 3D atlas of genetic expression within our own brain tissue.
Vaa3D was created in 2007 to tackle the large-scale brain mapping project at Janelia Farm of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.The initial goal was to quickly visualize any of the tens of thousands of large 3D laser scanning microscopy image stacks of fruit fly brains, each with a few gigabytes in volume.
The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it.. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified ...
The Allen Institute for Brain Science launched with an initial single scientific project, the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas, [6] which aimed to map gene expression across the entire mouse brain. The publication describing that project, published in 2007, has been cited more than 1,800 times. [ 7 ]
Scientists have created a full map of an adult brain for the first time. The 3D model of all of the neurons of a fruit fly, and the 50 million connections between them, is the first time that ...
Hongkui Zeng is the Director of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, where she leads the creation of open-access datasets and tools to accelerate neuroscience discovery. [1] In 2011-2014 Zeng led the team that created the Allen Mouse Brain Connectivity Atlas , [ 2 ] which indicates which regions of the mouse brain are connected to ...
