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.
The BRAIN Initiative supports the development of a diverse portfolio of biomolecular tools and emphasizes their rapid and broad dissemination to the research community. Browse plasmids and antibodies created with support from the BRAIN Initiative below. Support has been identified by depositors and/or when BRAIN Initiative grants are noted in publications associated with Addgene materials.
