Neuroscience Research and Technology

This free virtual workshop will take place on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, to discuss the circuit basis of neuroplasticity and its mechanisms. Registration is now open.

The BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN), an international collaboration of researchers, detailed the exceptionally complex diversity of cells in the human brain and the nonhuman primate brain in a collection of papers published in October in Science, Science Advances, and Science Translational Medicine.

The workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss the development, automation, and use of single-cell genomics data and cell atlas data to advance neuroscience and brain disease research. Registration is now open! 

The BRAIN Initiative continues to fund cross-cutting and accelerated discovery in neuroscience across a diverse network of institutions and organizations, laboratories, researcher fields, and geographic locations. 

Have you read the latest BRAIN Initiative Alliance newsletter featuring innovative software tools? BRAIN scientists are invited to share their tools with the scientific community in the Toolmakers Newsletter. These newsletters spotlight BRAIN Initiative investigators with tools, technologies, or theories ready for distribution to the research community to advance neurotechnology.  

Share your science! The deadline for submitting symposium proposals for the 10th Annual BRAIN Conference has been extended. Join us for our full Conference agenda June 17 - 18, 2024 in Bethesda, MD to discuss and explore exciting scientific developments, new directions, and collaborations that have grown from a decade of BRAIN. 

Technology is the backbone of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® Initiative, or The BRAIN Initiative®. In a virtuous cycle of technology and knowledge, new tools open doors for discovery, which in turn drive the design of new and better tools.
