The Allen Institute is a non-profit research organization founded by Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) and is best known for its <a href="http://mouse.brain-map.org/">Mouse Brain Map</a>, which is being used by researchers around the world. The Institute has several other on-going projects including a project to create a map of the <a href="http://humancortex.alleninstitute.org/">human cortex</a> that shows which genes are active in each area.</p> <p>In this interview we discuss both the mouse brain project and the human cortex project with an emphasis on the importance of these projects to neuroscience research.

His work involves tagging the dopamine neurons in <em>C. elegans</em> with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_fluorescent_protein">green florescent protein (GFP)</a>. His work depends on the pioneering work of many scientists (some of whom I list below).
