Allen Institute for Brain Science

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  

What makes the human brain unique? Most diseases of the human brain are only seen in humans. By understanding what makes the human brain different, we can understand more about these unique diseases. #studyBRAIN
