摘要

Despite advances in whole-brain imaging technologies, the lack of quantitative approaches to bridge rodent preclinical and human studies remains a critical challenge. Here we present TransBrain, a computational framework enabling bidirectional translation of brain-wide phenotypes between humans and mice. TransBrain improves human–mouse homology mapping accuracy through (1) a cortical and subcortical detached region-specific deep neural network trained on integrated multimodal human transcriptomics to improve cortical correspondence (89.5% improvement over the original transcriptome), which revealed 2 evolutionarily conserved gradients, and (2) a graph-based approach to construct a unified cross-species representational space incorporating anatomical hierarchies and structural connectivity. We demonstrate TransBrain’s utility through three cross-species applications: quantitative assessment of resting-state brain organizational features, inferring human cognitive functions from mouse optogenetic circuits and translating molecular insights from mouse models to individual-level mechanisms in autism. TransBrain enables quantitative cross-species comparison and mechanistic investigation of both normal and pathological brain functions.
