The Allen Institute’s release includes recordings from a whopping 300,000 mouse neurons. Now the challenge is figuring out what to do with all that data.

We could be on the cusp of breakthrough treatments for brain diseases, from Alzheimer's Disease to depression and ADHD. Local scientists from the Allen Institute for Brain Science are spearheading a five-year project to map the human brain.

The National Institutes of Health on Thursday announced more than $600 million in fresh funding for an expansive and ongoing push to unravel the mysteries of the human brain, bankrolling efforts to create a detailed map of the whole brain, and devise new ways to target therapeutics and other molecules to specific brain cell populations.

Scientists from the Allen Institute and UW Medicine opened up about the Seattle Alzheimer’s Disease Brain Cell Atlas on Reddit

The initiative, called the Seattle Alzheimer’s Disease Brain Cell Atlas (SEA-AD), has released some of its first findings at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference.

Scientists say research into Alzheimer's needs to take a broader view of how the disease affects the brain — whether that's changes in the cortex or the role of inflammation.

Neuroscientists at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and their collaborators have released their first research data set on Alzheimer’s disease, in which they categorized cell types based on gene activity. The team hope this approach could ultimately identify new targets for better therapies.
