Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive neuroscience site maps 621,733 recorded neurons from 139 mice and lets visitors explore simulations built from one mouse’s brain activity.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The observatory layers recorded neural data over an Allen atlas, using region selection, firing-rate tinting, and rotation to make the dataset inspectable. Its task demonstrations draw on mouse ZM_1897, a 42-minute session with 413 trials and two Neuropixels probes; the reported model uses 62.5-millisecond bins and ridge AR(3). The site explicitly separates those fitted simulations from the aggregate map, whose rates are session means rather than a live recording.
