A core principle of the BRAIN Initiative is to develop and share novel technologies, tools, methods, and resources to advance understanding of healthy and disease brain states. This minisymposium features BRAIN-funded investigators who are driving forward toward this goal; it will inform and educate the community about opportunities and applications of their advances and encourage broader understanding of the methodological and technological advances developed as a part of the BRAIN Initiative.
This session, which is part of the annual Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting, will be chaired by Walter J. Koroshetz, MD (Director, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke), and speakers will include: Drs.
