The Neuroanatomy team at the Allen Institute for Brain Science is investigating the neuroanatomical architecture of the brain at the population and single cell level and integrating across transcriptomics, patch-seq and whole brain morphology datasets to establish robust, high-dimensional definitions of cell types, brain regions, and circuits.
