The Allen Human Brain Atlas: Comprehensive gene expression mapping of the human brain

The Allen Human Brain Atlas is a freely available multimodal atlas of gene expression and anatomy comprising a comprehensive ‘all genes–all structures’ array-based dataset of gene expression and complementary in situ hybridization (ISH) gene expression studies targeting selected genes in specific brain regions. Available via the Allen Brain Atlas data portal (www.brain-map.org), the Atlas integrates structure, function, and gene expression data to accelerate basic and clinical research of the human brain in normal and disease states.
