On March 17, 2011, the Allen Institute for Brain Science released its latest updates to resources available through the ALLEN Brain Atlas data portal. These include new data and feature enhancements for three resources.
Highlights include:
• ALLEN Human Brain Atlas now includes microarray data for two complete adult human brains, with approximately 1,000 anatomic samples per brain. New features include the Brain Explorer® 3-D viewer and enhanced data search and navigation features. Learn more.

• NIMH Transcriptional Atlas of Human Brain Development has been expanded to include RNA-Seq data and exon array data for discrete anatomic samples from 25 donors spanning development, as well as additional ISH data spanning postnatal development. New features also include:
o Addition of differential and correlative search functions
o Enhanced heat-map interactivity and navigation for transcriptome data
o Side-by-side viewing of ISH data with nearest matching Nissl sections

• NIH Blueprint NHP Atlas now includes downloadable microarray data from substructures of the hippocampus and amygdala from four postnatal developmental stages.
