Transformative Projects

The BRAIN Initiative transformative projects are three large-scale projects that promise to transform neuroscience research, illuminating foundational principles governing the circuit basis of behavior and informing new approaches to the treatment of human brain disorders. 

The projects were outlined in The BRAIN Initiative® 2.0: From Cells to Circuits, Toward Cures report and include the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN), the BRAIN Initiative Connectivity Across Scales (BRAIN CONNECTS) Network, and the Armamentarium for Precision Brain Cell Access.  

These projects aim to transform our understanding of brain cell types and the precise tools needed to access them, bringing us one step closer to unraveling the complex workings of the human brain.
