TEDTalks. Allan Jones, A Map of the Brain
Description
How can we begin to understand the way the brain works? Perhaps in the same way that cities can be understood: by making a map. In this visually stunning TEDTalk, Allan Jones shows the audience how his team is mapping out which genes are turned on in which brain region, and what the implications of this gene expression are. As CEO of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, Jones is leading an ambitious project to build an online, interactive atlas of the human brain.
