Shawn Mikula

Shawn Mikula (Feb 28, 1976, Castellón, Spain – present, Munich, Germany) is an American neuroscientist and neuroanatomist.

One of his main achievements is the development of mammalian whole-brain preparations that are suitable for electron microscopy and brain-wide cellular connectomics (Mikula & Denk, 2015) [1] (Mikula, 2016).[2] He is currently a neuroscientist at the Max-Planck Institute in Munich, Germany, where he is working on the mouse whole-brain circuit diagram. He was also the principal developer and contributor to the BrainMaps project, an internet-enabled, high-resolution histo- and cyto-chemical brain atlas for myriad species (Mikula et al, 2007).[3]
