The NIH BRAIN Initiative supports two major transformative consortia with complementary goals:&nbsp;</p>

</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, programs are directed toward (1) developing novel tools for probing specific brain cell types and circuits with greater precision and sensitivity, (2) characterizing understudied cell types such as glia and vascular cells, and (3) improving surrogate experimental assays for human brain function such as organoids. This includes:&nbsp;</p>

<p>Research to Develop and Validate Advanced Human Cell-Based Assays to Model Brain Structure and Function.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>These projects cover developmental and adult stages as well as different physiological states.
