OpenAI teamed up with PerturbAI and Scripps Research to run thousands of AI agents on data from millions of brain cells. The agents worked in parallel, each examining a small slice of the dataset and flagging patterns that could suggest new experiments. The collaboration says the approach surfaced several promising leads that human analysts had missed. The work is described in a blog post released on 21 October 2026.
