These findings may be at the heart of the mechanisms underlying intellectual disability and many other brain disorders. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-01-discovery-autism-related-disorder-reveals-key.html Neuroscience Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:08:08 EST news277376881 Scientists at the Allen Institute for Brain Science reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature that human brains share a consistent genetic blueprint and possess enormous biochemical complexity. The findings stem from the first deep and large-scale analysis of the vast data set publicly available in the Allen Human Brain Atlas. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-09-human-brains-genetic-blueprint-enormous.html Neuroscience Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:43:30 EST news267280952 The Allen Institute for Brain Science convened the first ever Allen Brain Atlas Hackathon last week, opening its doors to a diverse group of programmers and informatics experts for a non-stop week of collaboration, learning and coding based on its public online platform of data, tools and source code. The event brought together more than 30 participants from top universities and institutes ranging from the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston to the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Poland, as well as from start-ups and established technology companies, to develop data analysis strategies and tools based on the newly enhanced Allen Brain Atlas application programming interface (API). http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-06-first-ever-allen-brain-atlas-hackathon.html Neuroscience Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:40:04 EST news259847908 The Allen Institute for Brain Science announced today its latest public data release, enhancing online resources available via the Allen Brain Atlas data portal and expanding its application programming interface (API). http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-06-allen-brain-science-online-atlas.html Neuroscience Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:46:35 EST news258302757
