Society for Neuroscience 2018

Meet scientists from the Allen Institute for Brain Science at this year's Society for Neuroscience conference. Visit us at booth #500, attend our talks and events, register for our Satellite Workshops on the Allen Cell Types Database and Allen Brain Observatory, keep up with us on social media (#sfn18), and stop by one of our many posters.

11/03/2018 to 11/07/2018

The Allen Institute for Brain Science will host a workshop on the Allen Cell Types Database. An overview of transcriptomic and morpho-electric cell type diversity in mouse and human cortex will be followed by a demonstration of navigating the Allen Cell Types Database to access data and tools from this open science resource. A hands-on tutorial using transcriptomic data clustering and visualization tools will be led by Allen Institute scientists.

The Allen Institute for Brain Science presents a workshop to explore the Allen Brain Observatory, featuring physiological response data from 60,000+ neurons covering multiple cell types, lamina, and regions of the mouse visual cortex. The workshop includes scientific presentations and a tutorial leading participants through accessing and analyzing data in this open science resource, to gain insight into sensory coding in the cortex.
