BRAIN issues suite of funding opportunities to advance brain cell atlases through centers, collaboratories and coordinating units

Three new funding opportunities have been made available to support the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN), which aims to build reference brain cell atlases for wide dissemination throughout the research community.  

To learn more about the funding opportunities, visit this BRAIN Blog post. 

The BICAN is aimed to build reference brain cell atlases that will be widely used throughout the research community, providing a molecular and anatomical foundational framework for the study of brain function and disorders. 

While mice are premiere model organisms for understanding brain diseases, this effort will facilitate a mapping of cells and circuits across species, from mice to humans, enabling a better understanding of the cell features that make us uniquely human.
