www.ted.com How can we begin to understand the way the brain works? The same way we begin to understand a city: by making a map. In this visually stunning talk, Allan Jones shows how his team is mapping which genes are turned on in each tiny region, and how it all connects up.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at www.ted.com/translate.

Love how he compares the mapping of the brain to a satellite view and high way maps, haha. It makes it so much easier to understand. (:

took me a little while to get into this talk but it looks like his team are doing some really useful stuff. I hope they find ways of speeding up the process of mapping brains like the guys mapping the human genome did. They've only done two and that's a really small sample.

@jmsparhawk So, one cause of depression is low levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin works by binding to proteins on the next neuron after a synapse. Prozac works by inhibiting proteins that reuptake serotonin, so it effectively allows serotonin to linger in this post-synaptic area, mimicking a normal person's levels of serotonin levels in the post synaptic area. I'd assume wellbutrin functions in a similar way.

@judiccc: it's been really informative for me - in those first four minutes he touched on new specific science about the brain of which I was parrtly or wholy unaware, how it functions at the most basic levels we understand - that shit is fucking fascinating. It's our self aware brains figuring out how they are self aware. That's like observing yourself from the next dimension up from your own.

@abeismain it's interesting because oh I don't know, it's the BRAIN. The organ which controls almost all of our bodily functions. It's what keeps us breathing, our heart beating and allows us to interact with others and the physical world around us. It may be the only organ which we cannot completely understand up to this point.

@OhManTFE If you're in to research then move on to neuropsychology or neuroscience. Neuroscience PhD programmes will often accept students with an undergraduate degree in anything from philosophy to mathematics. Just make sure you pair it up with some biology subjects and do really well in your degree. Some of the coolest findings of the 20th and 21st century in neuroscience comes from neuropsychological research, like that of V.S. Ramachandran and Michael Gazzaniga

This is all great, you know, it's important to have a map of the brain, but it's not the root cause of most of these problems such as depression. I'm sure most can agree that the brain is a reactionary organ. So the levels of serotonin may increase in the brain during depression, but that's like blaming the brain for all the problems you have physically.

I was starting to fully believe the ones who say that intention and belief are what defines a persons mind function. But this guy has a good case that genes turning on and off are what makes a persons health, behavior, learning, skills. Different genes activate diferent parts of the brain which affect specific behavior. This brain tool will enable easier methods to make the brain activate and rest however the user desires.

imagine combining this technology to map out consciousness and create an artificial positronic brain that has every characteristic and memory of who you are. Then put the brain in a robot. If every neuron was a 100% match to the dead persons brain that means that you would continue existing.
