This BRAIN Initiative grant supports the establishment of Specialized Collaboratories dedicated to creating comprehensive and highly granular brain cell atlases in human, non-human primates, and mice. The grant’s purpose is to leverage scalable technology platforms and streamlined assay cascades, ensuring efficient and high-quality data generation. These collaboratories are designed to complement the larger BICAN Comprehensive Centers, contributing distinct expertise and research aims within the overall network. The ultimate goal is to build widely accessible reference brain cell atlases for the research community. These atlases will serve as a foundational molecular and anatomical framework, advancing the study of brain function and disorders.
