BRAIN Armamentarium Collection


The Armamentarium for Precision Brain Cell Access is developing a collection of molecular genetic reagents to gain access to many different brain cell types. The expanded collection of Armamentarium tools will aid neuroscientists in studying circuits in laboratory animals and human tissue specimens. These technologies have the potential to transform neuroscience research by bringing the precision of molecular targeting to specific neural circuits that underlie behavior and network function.
