Excited for what’s coming over the next 6 months
Neuroscience is entering the digital age!
Today, we proudly launch the Open Brain Institute (OBI)—a revolutionary non-profit organization dedicated to advancing neuroscience from the physical realm into the virtual world.

To conclude the Blue Brain Project last year, composer Hana Ajiashvili presented music she wrote when she came across our visualizations online. It felt like she was making tangible hypotheses about the brain, and reminded me of how we think when we enter the field: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h3I...

A beautiful video of the Blue Brain Project's improved CCFv3 annotation and Nissl atlas of the entire mouse brain building upon the @alleninstitute.bsky.social atlas. Recommend watching end-to-end. Great work by Sébastien Piluso @cyrillefavreau.bsky.social and others

Neurons warp space and time
The messages sent between neurons look something like a Morse code, but the closer one looks the more mysterious the code becomes. The code is called the neural code and is the holy grail in neuroscie...
