Mapping the cellular architecture of the mammalian basal ganglia
Tue, Dec 02
|Webinar - Pacific Time (PT)
New cellular advances allow us to map basal ganglia’s structure and function in both humans and model organisms. We will present major advances by the HMBA consortium on basal ganglia mapping—including cross-species cellular mapping and open-access visualization tools.

About the event
New cellular technologies, including single cell and spatial transcriptomics, are transforming our ability to map the structure and function of the basal ganglia - a part of the brain involved in motor control, cognition and reward, that is affected in a range of motor, addictive, and psychiatric disorders.
In this webinar, we will highlight recent findings by the Human and Mammalian Brain Atlas (HMBA) consortium, a program within the BICAN, including new cross-species cellular maps and open-access tools for exploring basal ganglia cell types and anatomy in human and non-human primate brain.
Event starts at 9:00 AM Pacific Time.
