Description: 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.

Allan Jones: A map of the brain

A map of the brain

Brain mapping evolves with technology, akin to the leap from traditional maps to GPS, revolutionizing our understanding.

The brain's complexity is unveiled in its 86 billion neurons, showing our shared biochemistry despite individual differences.

Mapping the brain at a genetic level, this project offers a new realm of understanding diseases and uncovering treatments.
