ALLEN BRAIN ATLAS: A Quantum Leap in Neurological Research DVD

With a 90 percent match between the mouse and human genomes, mice are helping researchers to better understand the human brain. In this NewsHour program, Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen - founder of the Allen Institute for Brain Science - and the Institute's chief scientific officer talk about the Allen Brain Atlas, an interactive 3-D map of gene expression in the mouse brain. Together with scientist Dave Anderson of Caltech, they discuss the concepts behind the Atlas and its creation. Susan Swedo, of the National Institute of Mental Health, adds, "It is exactly like having a Google for the mouse brain now". Research into autism with the help of this revolutionary gene map is already yielding valuable insights.
