The Brain? IDK! What we know and don’t know about brain cells.

Join us to learn more about what we don’t know about the brain! Why are we talking about what we don't know rather than what we do know? It sounds counterintuitive, but understanding where gaps in knowledge exist in our understanding of the brain helps to guide future research here at the Allen Institute and across the field of neuroscience. The goal of this research is to gain insights into how the brain works so that we know better ways to fix it when something goes wrong. This event is geared towards adults across the community and is suitable for audiences high school and up. *We strongly recommend pre-registering to guarantee space at the event. Limited walk-in capacity will also be available.* *This event is FREE* Registration is full, but walk-ins are still allowed on a first-come first-serve basis.

General Public

At this free public event, scientists from the Allen Institute for Brain Science will discuss what we do and don't yet know about brain cells, potential applications of more detailed knowledge of brain cells and the Allen Institute's open cell type resources, and what tools and techniques the Allen Institute is using to attempt to fill these gaps in our understanding. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities, such as a model of how we organize cell types data and real brain slices used in our research!Refreshments will be provided.This event will not be livestreamed, but a recording will be posted to the

Allen Institute YouTube channel

shortly after the event.Parking is available in the Allen Institute garage (entrance at 943 Roy St) but it will not be validated by us. The rate is $6.00 for the first hour, $3.00/additional hour. There is additional street parking around the building.
