Brain disease is tragic, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s time for a new approach to #brainhealth research.
That’s why we and our partners are launching the Brain Health accelerator.

- Take a break from scrolling and relax with this dazzling video of the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by an indicator developed by @abhi_aggarwal1, @PodgorskiLab, & team. Learn more in @naturemethods: nature.com/articles/s4159…
00:00 - The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨ Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity. Dive deeper: alleninstitute.org/scientists-unv… @Nature #studyBRAIN #BICCN
- How does the brain work? Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵
00:00 - The fireworks in your mind. 🧠✨ This sparkling video shows the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by an indicator developed by @abhi_aggarwal1, @PodgorskiLab, and team. #HappyNewYear #NYE
