We’re pushing the frontiers of technology, too, because cutting-edge science requires cutting-edge tools
Our scientists developed a new microscope for whole brain imaging to investigate our neurons and their connections throughout the brain.
This technology is giving us an unprecedented high definition look at millions of individual neurons.
Our science is powering discovery
Open science is at the core of all we do. From massive brain maps, cell atlases, and 3D modeling tools, to laboratory protocols, hardware blueprints, and more – our science resources are shared openly to support researchers in laboratories worldwide.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve generated over 300 petabytes of scientific data – and it is all freely available to the global scientific community.
