BRAIN Initiative Collection


The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative aims to revolutionize our knowledge of the human brain through the development and application of innovative tools enabling large-scale real-time interrogation and monitoring of brain cells and circuits during behavior. Long desired by researchers, the revolutionary dynamic picture of the brain generated through this effort will provide novel ways to treat, cure, and even prevent brain disorders.
