Symposium to Explore ‘Mesoscale’ Imaging of the Human Brain
Registration is open for “Mesoscale Brain Mapping: Bridging Scales and Modalities in Neuroimaging,” a one-day symposium bringing together researchers using a range of imaging techniques to study brain function at the intersection of the micro- and macro- scales. The in-person event will be he...
Center for Mesoscale Mapping
Brain science tools have advanced in several distinct directions. Advanced tools in molecular biology now allow neuroscientists to study distinct patterns of gene expression in individual neural cells, leading to the potential for a comprehensive atlas of cell types. In parallel, tools that allow...
