Goals For The Project
The overarching goal and motto for all Allen Institute projects is “fueling discovery”. The project strives to fulfill this goal and advance science in a few ways. First, they create brain atlases to better understand the connections between genes and brain functioning. They aim to advance the research and knowledge about neurobiological conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Autism with their mapping of gene expression throughout the brain. The Brain Atlas projects also follow the “Allen Institute” motto with their open release of data and findings. This policy is also related to another goal of the Institute: collaborative and multidisciplinary research. Thus, any scientist from any discipline is able to look at the findings and take them into account while designing their own experiments. Also available to the public is the Brain Explorer application.
