Brain Architecture Project | Filling the gaps in our knowledge of brain circuitry

Human Brain Architecture Project

The technical goal of the Mouse Brain Architecture (MBA) project is to generate brainwide maps of inter-regional neural connectivity. The maps will thus specify the inputs and outputs of every brain region.

We have been working on two prototype systems for information extraction (IE) of knowledge related to brain architecture (including brain structure, genetic makeup, and disease) from a large text corpus. To date our corpus contains approximately 55,000 full-text journal articles. [Read More]

An understanding of the brain’s function and dysfunction cannot be obtained without consideration for its architecture or structural organization. That underlying organization can be described at many levels, from genes and protein interactions to structural-functional systems. Still, the defining architectural feature of the nervous system is that it forms a circuit. In an era in which the complete genomes are available for numerous organisms, our knowledge of neuroanatomical connectivity and associated anatomical information remains surprisingly sparse and disconnected. This project seeks to bring together what we know and determine what we need to find out.
