Join the BRAIN Initiative’s “Patient Recruitment in Deep Brain Stimulation Clinical Trials” virtual workshop

The workshop, taking place August 8, 2023, provides an opportunity to discuss and understand the current barriers to recruiting patients and diverse populations for clinical trials of deep brain stimulation (DBS). Registration is now open! 

Would you like to learn more about patient recruitment in DBS clinical trials? Join us for the Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative’s virtual workshop on “Patient Recruitment in DBS Clinical Trials,” on Tuesday August 8, 2023, from 1-6 p.m. ET. 

Congressional briefing highlights groundbreaking BRAIN Initiative research, including personal accounts from people with lived experience

The in-person briefing allowed members of Congress and key staffers to learn about breakthroughs in research from the BRAIN Initiative and to engage with a BRAIN study participant directly benefitting from advanced neurotechnologies.  

BRAIN Investigators Produce Automated Technique Allowing High Resolution Reconstruction of Mouse Cortex

Dr. Jeff Lichtman and colleagues published a paper in Cell outlining a series of techniques for sectioning, reconstructing, and analyzing a discrete volume of mouse brain tissue with nanometer resolution. Advancing the automated collection and processing of cortical tissue at the nanometer scale, this project stems from a collaborative, six-year effort of multiple researchers currently supported by The BRAIN Initiative®.
