New in @nature.com, @labnowakowski.bsky.social uses barcoded lineage tracing to reveal how different cell types in the human brain form, identifying a transition during development when some progenitors shift from making excitatory to inhibitory neurons. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #studyBRAIN 🧠🟦

These atlases detail critical periods in brain development and are open to everyone to lower the barriers to breakthroughs in understanding and treating brain diseases.

It was a pleasure to host our last BRAIN U19 site visit. Thank you Randy Buckner @toddc.bsky.social and NIH BRAIN program for constructive criticism and encouragement!
It's a travesty that funding for large Team Science projects is going away. We are so much better together!

Love this! #studyBRAIN
THIS IS ONE NEURON! Jaw dropping.

It distributes a particular neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) across the mouse brain; it’s a locus coeruleus neuron.

@jeremiahycohen.bsky.social and colleagues at the @alleninstitute.bsky.social are using new biotech to see things never seen before.
