  "The Allen Spinal Cord Atlas offers profound potential for researchers to unlock the mysteries of the spinal cord and how it is altered during disease or injury," Allan Jones, chief scientific officer at the Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science, said in a statement released early Thursday.
  ...
  MS is thought to be an autoimmune dysfunction in which the body turns on itself for some unknown reason.'); return false">Multiple Sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, Jones said. Multiple sclerosis affects 2.5 million people worldwide, and an estimated 30,000 Americans have ALS.
  
  Jones said the atlas could also point to new gene-based methods for promoting Regeneration
  ...
  "We are running both adult and juvenile tissue, and as we're looking at the first data that's coming out, we're already seeing that there are differences," Jones said.
  ...
  Allan Jones said he couldn't predict how long it would take for the data in the atlas to yield new treatments for spinal cord problems.
  
  "We have to know more about the problems," he said. "If you don't set the stage for making that discovery, you'll never make the discovery. If that happens in a month, it's fantastic. If it happens in six years ... well, these things are incremental, they build on each other. So we don't know."
  
  After the spinal cord atlas is complete, the institute will focus on similar atlases for the developing mouse brain as well as the entire human brain — a four-year project that Allan Jones called "the big kahuna."
  
  "The human brain is the one that we're just gearing up for," he said.

  "It's a groundbreaking project that tells us where each gene in the genome is turned on in cells in the spinal cord," Dr. Allan Jones, Allen Institute's Chief Scientific Officer, said in a news conference Thursday."This is very important because the genes ultimately contribute to the specific biochemistry of a particular cell."
  
  Jones says because mice share many of the same genes with humans, the implications are far-reaching.
  ...
  "It's sort of a virtual microscope that scientists can come and zoom in," said Jones.
  ...
  "Researchers have been using this to support all aspects of brain research," said Jones.
  ...
  So they're a bit like a kid in a candy store in terms of the new data in the excitement of looking at it," said Jones.

  “The maps of the brain we currently have are like those antique maps people used to draw of the New World,†says Allan Jones, chief scientific officer at the Allen Institute. “We can see the crude outlines of the structure, but we have no idea what’s happening on the inside.†This article on the Allen Brain Atlas project has several heartstopping images of the very manual first steps used in their process of mapping the human brain.

  "Every cell has a story to tell," said Allan Jones, the institute's chief scientific officer.
  ...
  Growing evidence also suggests that many brain and nerve diseases, including schizophrenia and autism, may be rooted in early development of the nervous system, Jones said.
  
  "Something is setting the stage very early on in life," he said.
