…people have different brain structures that never quite match when aligned to a standardized #brainatlas…different input dimensions are required for each subject.

…neuroscience-informed activity mapping within the #fMRI encoder…allows the system to accommodate these varying input shapes across subjects.

By separating a voxel's functional information from its raw fMRI value, the model leverages pre-existing knowledge from #neuroscience #research

Direct translation of brain imaging to text with MindLLM

Yale University, Dartmouth College, and the University of Cambridge researchers have developed MindLLM, a subject-agnostic model for decoding functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals into text.

Scientists unveil first complete cellular map of adult mouse brain

High-resolution atlas charts neural neighborhoods for more than 5,300 cell types.

Allen Institute
Researchers have identified more than 3,000 different types of human #brain cells in a mapping effort that stands as a tour de force for neuroscience - and Seattle's #AllenInstitute is one of the leaders of the effort. https://www.geekwire.com/2023/brain-cell-atlas-initiative/ #BrainAtlas #BrainInitiative #Science
Atlases lay out detailed maps of the brain for humans and other primates, cell by cell

In a tour de force for neuroscience, researchers have published a voluminous set of brain-cell atlases for humans and other primates.

Can anyone recommend a good online, 3D!, rat brain atlas? (Allen one is for mice)
Ideally where you can highlight several brain regions simultaneously…

Cuttlefish brain atlas first of its kind

Anything with three hearts, blue blood and skin that can change colors like a display in Times Square is likely to turn heads. Meet Sepia bandensis, known more descriptively as the camouflaging dwarf cuttlefish.

Building an Atlas of the Brain To Guide Neuroscience: An Interview With the Allen Institute's Ed Lein

A new project to map the billions of cells in the human brain is underway. The project, dubbed BICAN (BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network) will exploit rapid advances in genomic and cellular technology to build an atlas of the brain. <i>Technology Networks </i> spoke to project lead Ed Lein to find out more.<br /><br /><br />
