New OpenScope projects aim to pioneer the future of neuroscience
How do neurons react to magic mushrooms? What happens in the brain when we see motion, or when we recognize grain patterns in a piece of wood? How do our brains track the subtle changes in our friends’ appearances over time? The Allen Institute has launched four projects to investigate these questions through OpenScope, a shared neuroscience observatory.
2024 OpenScope Projects
The OpenScope program provides the neuroscience community access to the Allen Brain Observatories—large-scale, standardized two-photon or Neuropixels platforms. The program was inspired by astronomical observatories, which allow a community of scientists to access platforms too large or expensive for most laboratories.
The OpenScope Program is supported by the National Institute Of Neurological Disorders And Stroke under Award Number U24NS113646. (This content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the views of the NIH)
