The BRAIN Initiative ® Cell Atlas Workshop: From Single-Cell Genomics to Brain Function and Disorders—Data Integration and Annotation
This workshop will be a 3-day interactive event with targeted and coordinated presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations with the following goals: 1. Foster the development of data standards for the integration and annotation of single-cell genomics data. 2. Systemize and automate the process of data to information to knowledge and develop pipelines where feasible. 3. Shed new insights on brain cell functional studies by using cell atlasing data and cell type-specific targeting tools. 4. Develop strategies with brain disease research communities to maximally leverage BICCN / BICAN data. 5. Develop a community roa...

Annie Ilsley, Winner of the 2023 NIMH Three-Minute Talks Competition
Annie Ilsley discusses white matter composes about half the brain and forms pathways that are essential for communication between regions. Myelination is a key, neurodevelopmental process in which a fatty sheath, known as myelin, envelops neuronal axons that form white matter tracks, acting as insulation and allowing for efficient conduction through these pathways.

Destiny Wright, Winner of the 2023 NIMH Three-Minute Talks Competition
Destiny Wright discusses working memory can be thought of as the brain ’s sticky notes allowing us to briefly hold and manipulate information. We use it to plan and carry out everyday tasks, such as making a list of chores or remembering bedtime routines, which as we know are things that young children really struggle with.

Isabel Wilder, Winner of the 2023 NIMH Three-Minute Talks Competition
Isabel Wilder discusses white matter is made up of myelinated nerve tracts and acts as a relay coordinating communications between brain regions. Myelin is a protective sheath composed of fatty lipids, which greatly enhance the efficiency of these communications. And in fact, this myelin is what makes white matter in the human brain appear white. (Source: National Institute of Mental Health)

The Evolution of Brain Stimulation Therapy
Electroconvulsive therapy, known as ECT, has long been mischaracterized in pop culture, but in truth, this is a safe and effective treatment that has provided a road to recovery for many people with hard-to-treat depression. In this episode, we'll talk with Dr. Sarah Hollingsworth “Holly” Lisanby, an internationally recognized innovator in ECT and other brain stimulation tools. We'll dispel misconceptions about brain stimulation, learn how seizure therapies can help with depression, and touch upon the future of this life-saving treatment.
