Resource:Brain Architecture Project
| Name: | Resource:Brain Architecture Project |
| Description: | BrainArchitecture.org is an evolving portal that will provide interactive tools and resources to allow researchers, clinicians, and students to discover, analyze, and visualize what is known about the brain’s organization, and what the evidence is for that knowledge. This project has a current experimental focus: creating the first brainwide mesoscopic connectivity diagram in the mouse. Related efforts for the human brain currently focus on literature mining and an Online Brain Atlas Reconciliation Tool.
The primary goal of the Brain Architecture Project is to assemble available knowledge about the structure of the nervous system, with an ultimate emphasis on the human CNS. Such information is currently scattered in research articles, textbooks, electronic databases and datasets, and even as samples on laboratory shelves. Pooling the knowledge across these heterogeneous materials – even simply getting to know what we know – is a complex challenge that requires an interdisciplinary approach and the contributions and support of the greater community. Our approach can be divided into 4 major thrusts:
Human Brain Connectivity Database Direct evidence for neuronal connections in human brain tissue is very rare and difficult to obtain, so there is high value in any existing reports of neuroanatomical studies conducted in post-mortem human brain tissue. We present a preliminary database of neuroanatomical connectivity reports specifically for the human brain, which have been manually curated. This database and user interface will be expanded and improved in the near future. |
