On this day in 2006 📆 we completed our Mouse Brain Atlas, an open science, web-based, 3D map detailing more than 21,000 genes at the cellular level. | Allen Institute

Introducing the Sasquatch Brain Atlas! 👣🧠 Thanks to generous donations by local PNW sasquatch donors, researchers from around the world can study what makes their own furry neighbors special. | Allen Institute

Introducing the Allen Brain Cell (ABC) Atlas [beta] representing preliminary data including ~5,200 transcriptomic-defined cell types across the whole mouse brain. This new open science resource allows unprecedented insights into the enormous diversity of cell types in the brain and where they are. In collaboration with National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Amazon Web Services, the Allen Brain Cell Atlas will join other atlases on the Brain Knowledge Platform – soon to be the largest open-sourc

Inside the Allen Mouse Brain Connectivity Atlas: This video shows a composite of 80 injection sites of a viral tracer in the cortex (round spheres) and their major projections into the thalamus. We can clearly see that the spatial pattern of the injections is conserved in the thalamus. Interestingly, projections pass through fiber tracts in the striatum, narrowing through the globus pallidus before fanning out throughout the thalamus, maintaining a high degree of spatial preservation from its co
