Brain Science

That's more than enough politics for one day, have a healthy dose of brain science to round off the evening :) Scientists at the Allen Institute for brain Science in Seattle have been investigating the 'genetic blueprint' of the human brain, and have found some very interesting findings.

Here is the report on the BBC, to get you warmed up!

And the press release from the Allen Institute:

And while most of this site utterly baffles me (do let me know if you can make any sense of all the genetic stuff) this MRI explorer tool is pretty cool:
