The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative® is part of an ambitious, public-private collaborative effort aimed at developing new experimental tools that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain. This year, the BRAIN Initiative celebrates three years of ambitious cross-sector collaboration in the name of brain research. The BRAIN Initiative Alliance aims to help spread the word about BRAIN advancements. Made up of groups invested in the Initiative, it also Composed of federal and non-federal members and affiliates, the BRAIN Initiative Alliance mission is to coordinate and facilitate communications from its members related to the BRAIN Initiative. Learn More About The Alliance The brain is the most complex part in the human body. This three-pound organ is responsible for our intelligence, interpreting sensation, initiating body movement, and controlling all of our behaviors. While most of the information processing in the brain occurs in the cerebral cortex, scientists have identified hundreds of unique and specialized areas of the brain that work together — much like a committee of experts — to help us function our entire lives. Our ability to better treat, prevent, and cure brain disorders depends on our ability to advance our understanding of how the brain functions in (Photos: top: Allen Institute for Brain Science; bottom: Josh Morgan and Rachel Wong, University of Washington) > The human brain is the most complicated organ in the body - probably > the most complicated, calculated machine that we know of.
