- 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.

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. (:
TED + RUclips = ONE OF THE BEST COMBINATIONS EVER
Almost as good as PB&J.
These talks about the brain are so relevant for me as a neuroscience and psychology student.
Awesome Video and Very Informative.
Wonderful example of a talk that can appeal to the masses while satisfying the scientific community. Absolutely fascinating.
Thank you for sharing knowledge.
THIS IS SO AMAZING! I want my brain to be a part of it!
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.
This puts Boris Kaloff into perspective for me, and there is no creepy musak. THANK YOU.
Neurology has always amazed me.
awesome!!
nice talk, would be great if TED could link to the presentor's website rather than that generic description

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.
loved it
I want to see the map, do you know where we can find it ?
amazing!
@GuitarSongCoverDude I am in awe not just at the appearance of the brain, but what I experience as a product of it. All of my existence depends on it, and yet it looks like some unremarkable mass. It only gets more interesting with use.
@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.
09:08 - Camera-guy in the back goes tired by Allan Jones really interesting speech..
amazing
@Geebsee what about particle physics......in order to do this you would need to get a couple of those fellas
to understand the functioning of molecules....or does that come later on......
So cool
@VCSandARM I love heart talks; brain talks are rationally taken into consideration.
@daggertoungeomega are these instructions to make a jack-o-lantern?
@sonicase My bad, I added "brain" to the Allan Jones search and got his profile page on the alleninstitute website as a first hit, instead of the actor or editor or any of the other Allan Joneses in this world :)
@00:42
A great cake idea!
For Halloween at least...
4:38
Christopher Monckton?!!
@Ivealwaysgotmail It is because youtube only updates the viewership at certain times, until then it goes to a cap, which is 301. I see 301 too.
@mrwill711 I don't understand. What happens at 0:15????
i love that the scientist had tattoos
@darkjannn where, i didn't see it
I know what I want to do with my life now!
This is a great work from the neurological, chemical, biological point of view. I think with a more structural, electrical, functional point of view , the understanding of the brain could be complete.
@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.
@watcbd it's posted so that you can skip the noisy intro
This is freaking me out.
This a no brainer for me :)
Why was there no 0:15 for me?! You guys are slipping
didn't learn much from this talk....i was hoping for more relevant and ground breaking information possibly regarding the relationship between the anatomy and the mind....this was more like a medical school lecture
I love brain talks
@abeismain Go to 10:19 where he gives just one example. You may still not find that interesting.
@siobs75 nice to see a Firefly reference :)
@abeismain he gave an example of what other doctors can do with this.Like seeing what a brain does when u give it a certain drug and find out what happens and mabye find out some side effects.
@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 why I am studying psychology. But I am thinking of moving over to medicine... I'm not sure which is more suited to my fascination with the brain.
If I was "normal," I would so volunteer for this.
@xKurogashi Aaah yes that makes sense, you were avoiding revision by watching youtube, when in fact the youtube video you were watching helped with your revision. That is irony, you're right.
When can we grow our own wings???
those dots are moving I swear. 3:
i should have become a neuroscientist. I d know the many ways to get my brain faded without any long term/debilitating risks :).
An enchanted loom....
braaainz!

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.
omg..what is his point!? He should explain why we should find it interesting
@sonicase While you are completely right, doing a Google search for the presenter's name does the trick as well ;)
I'm more curious as to what lies beyond the brain...
@rackslap
Words having opposite meaning of their original intent.
If you were wondering what's the irony, it was me procrastinating my studies, yet somehow managed to be watching a video on stuff that were to be on my exam. Correct me if i'm wrong. I'm no English major.
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.
Alan Stefan I dont think he has even said or mentoined that in any way. Also genes arent the only thing that drive our behavior. But of course Intention and belief couldnt be the only reason for anything.
@Fuzzy192006 DON'T HATE, APPRECIATE.
damn it! i was about to go to sleep..
@xKurogashi Can you define irony for me?
The first thing I thought when I saw the Brain was Death...But the Brain is still there?....Pause...Very uneasy feeling.
00:15 ...
Ironically, I have a physiology exam tomorrow and a large section of it is based off mapping the brain. This is procrastination at its finest!
Braaaiiiiiiiiinnnss....
empathy gene
There's nothing about the phrase "We're seeking normal human brains" that creeped me out.
Who is funding the research? How much does this research cost?
@mrwill711
Wow, some people can't even wait 15 seconds...
I find this highly amusing.
mmm brains
Two by two, hands of blue...
@tranceman14 the flying spaghetti monster!
I love BRAINS. BRAINSSSS
@xKurogashi
:))))))
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.
@xKurogashi i'm applying to grad schools for neuroscience and procrastinating. I think i win. lol

The brain is the most important organ you have....
According to the brain.
It's just so much easier to find a brain in nature than to actually map one out. That's why cyborgs own robots. : P Still, human endeavor is fascinating.
If I become a zombie in the future, I know where I'm going.
Brains! Brains!...Brains!!
someday someday your brain will be mine Muahahahaha just know that man just know that gonna put it in the microwave
Zombie buffet at Seattle.
@abeismain To be honest, there is no reasoning. You never have rational reasons to find something interesting you just do or don't. It's ok if you don't find this interesting.
spoiler alert: he shows real human brain in this video!!!
mmm...brain
i'm having a hard time eating my tacos.
@naybobdenod
Oh God xD
6:40 they use macOS with HP Monitor (it looks like Hackintosh). They can't afford to buy a real Mac Computer (Mac Mini or Mac Pro) 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brains! *zombie drewl*
mmmmm.. brains
