Hi everyone,

I have been diving into the Allen Brain Atlas and have found the resource incredibly valuable for understanding brain structure and function. However…, I am curious about the most recent updates on the Atlas. I understand that it’s continuously evolving but I would love to hear about any new features or improvements that have been made in recent months.

Have there been any updates to the gene expression data: ??  
Are there any new brain regions added or updated: ??  
Is there a way to better integrate the data with other tools or research projects: ??

I have been using the Atlas for a few personal research projects and I am eager to make sure I am leveraging its full potential. Would appreciate any insights or tips from others who have used it recently.

Thanks in advance !!

With Regards,

Hi! A few quick questions: are you referring to the [Allen Brain Atlas](https://mouse.brain-map.org/) featuring in situ hybridization and histological data, or are you referring to the [Allen Brain Cell Atlas](https://portal.brain-map.org/atlases-and-data/bkp/abc-atlas) which features single cell RNAseq and spatial transcriptomic data? Or is there another atlas you are referring to? And which species? We have had a lot of recent updates for many of our atlas projects!
