A congressional briefing commemorated ten years of groundbreaking advancements through the National Institutes of Health BRAIN Initiative. Scientists emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and connecting the research to real-world impacts, and an Initiative study participant spoke about his positive experience with deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression. #studyBRAIN #neurosociety #braininitiative #mentalhealth

Unfortunately I do have a horse in this race. It’s more than a little frustrating that the race is being cancelled after the starting gun. #BrainInitiative

2. To be clear, I don't have a horse in this race. I've never applied to this initiative and very much doubt I ever will. But this is literally a catastrophe for US science. It's bad not to fund this research, *but what is so much worse is to create the perception it would be funded and then bail.*

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.

@sz @aaronclauset Can I help to connect the dots here. Literally. This slide shows coastal/elite concentration for one type of #neuroscience grant funding. #BRAINinitiative #NIH #poisonivy
