The project, which the administration has been looking to unveil as early as March, will include federal agencies, private foundations and teams of neuroscientists and nanoscientists in a concerted effort to advance the knowledge of the brain’s billions of neurons and gain greater insights into perception, actions and, ultimately, consciousness. Scientists with the highest hopes for the project also see it as a way to develop the technology essential to understanding diseases like Alzheimer’sand Parkinson’s, as well as to find new therapies for a variety of mental illnesses. Moreover, the project holds the potential of paving the way for advances in artificial intelligence. The project, which could ultimately cost billions of dollars, is expected to be part of the president’s budget proposal next month. And, four scientists and representatives of research institutions said they had participated in planning for what is being called the Brain Activity Map project.

  • A Community-Based Transcriptomics Classification and Nomenclature Of
    COMMENT | FOCUS comment | FOCUS A community-based transcriptomics classifcation and nomenclature of neocortical cell types To understand the function of cortical circuits, it is necessary to catalog their cellular diversity. Past attempts to do so using anatomical, physiological or molecular features of cortical cells have not resulted in a unifed taxonomy of neuronal or glial cell types, partly due to limited data. Single-cell transcriptomics is enabling, for the frst time, systematic high-throughput measurements of cortical cells and generation of datasets that hold the promise of being complete, accurate and permanent. Statistical analyses of these data reveal clusters that often correspond to cell types previously defned by morphological or physiological criteria and that appear conserved across cortical areas and species. To capitalize on these new methods, we propose the adoption of a transcriptome-based taxonomy of cell types for mammalian neocortex. This classifcation should be hierarchical and use a standardized nomenclature. It should be based on a probabilistic defnition of a cell type and incorporate data from diferent approaches, developmental stages and species. A community-based classifcation and data aggregation model, such as a knowledge graph, could provide a common foundation for the study of cortical circuits. This community-based classifcation, nomenclature and data aggregation could serve as an example for cell type atlases in other parts of the body.
