Illustration1 - After four years of research, scientists Allen Institute of the Brain Science succeeded in making a map of the human brain. Map of the human brain in the world's first published Friday (15/04/2011) and can be accessed at http://www.brain-map.org /. Map of the human brain that could help scientists understand how the human brain works. Thus, scientists can describe the cause of some diseases and to seek appropriate treatment. CEO of the Allen Institute of Brain Science revealed Alan Jones, a map made by an analysis using the technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other variations called Diffusion Tensor Imaging that. The brain is also divided into small sections and then ribonekleatnya acid (RNA) is extracted. RNA used to produce readings of the function of 25,000 genes contained in the genome manusia.Dengan this map, the search for a thousand locations of the brain anatomy can be done. Maps are also supported with 100 million data points that indicate gene expression and biochemistry at each location.
