The BRAIN Initiative Connectivity Across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS) program aims to develop the research capacity and technical capabilities to generate wiring diagrams that can span entire brains across multiple scales.
BRAIN CONNECTS is one of three NIH BRAIN Initiative transformative projects outlined in The BRAIN Initiative® 2.0: From Cells to Circuits, Toward Cures report. Together with the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) and the Armamentarium for Precision Brain Cell Access, these large-scale projects promise to transform neuroscience research, illuminating foundational principles governing the circuit basis of behavior and informing new approaches to the treatment of human brain disorders.
