The BRAIN Blog

We’ve collected stunning imagery as part of our annual Show Us Your BRAINs! Photo and Video Contest. In a series of five articles, we highlight the top artwork from the 2020 and 2021 contests and the scientific tools used to uncover the beauty of the brain.

Your attendance at this open meeting June 21-22, 2022 will help us continue to build the BRAIN community and provide a forum for discussing exciting scientific developments and potential new directions, and to identify areas for collaboration and research coordination.

European Parliament hosted leaders from the International Brain Initiative this fall to discuss strategies that foster collaborative science across borders. A newly published report summarizes key takeaways.

Leaders from the International Brain Initiative (IBI)—of which BRAIN is a part—recently convened to discuss their efforts toward building neuroscience, neuroethics, data policy, and dissemination collaborations on a global scale.

Recent BRAIN Initiative-funded study finds promise in the use of adaptive deep brain stimulation for treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

This week, we will highlight BRAIN Initiative notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for fiscal year 2022. Today’s post features NOFOs for establishing reagent production facilities and tool development and dissemination.

The NOFOs below aim to advance our ability to study specific cell types and circuits by developing, validating, and disseminating cutting-edge technologies to the broader neuroscience community. 

This week, we will highlight BRAIN Initiative notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for fiscal year 2022. This post features funding opportunities to develop, test, and utilize next-gen neural devices to advance our knowledge about the brain.

This week, we will highlight BRAIN Initiative notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for fiscal year 2022. Today’s post summarizes NOFOs for neural recording, modulation, and stimulation tool development in animals and humans.

This week, we will highlight BRAIN Initiative notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for fiscal year 2022. Today’s post features NOFOs for data analysis and archival approaches.>

This week, a series of blog posts will highlight BRAIN Initiative notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for fiscal year 2022. Today’s post focuses on awards for training, equity, and inclusion; neuroethics; and small business.

Welcome to our annual NOFO week! Each day, we’ll summarize BRAIN funding opportunities for fiscal year 2022. While this series will reflect active BRAIN funding opportunities, keep an eye on this blog space as additional funding becomes available.

These notices support the BRAIN Initiative Connectivity Across Scales Network (BRAIN CONNECTS), which aims to coordinate the development of research capacity and technical capabilities to generate wiring diagrams that span entire brain regions across multiple scales.
