BBC News - Scans reveal intricate brain wiring, Feb 17, 2013
"Scientists are set to release the first batch of data from a project designed to create the first map of the human brain.
The project could help shed light on why some people are naturally scientific, musical or artistic.
Some of the first images were shown at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Boston.
I found out how researchers are developing new brain imaging techniques for the project by having my own brain scanned.
Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital are pushing brain imaging to its limit using a purpose built scanner. It is one of the most powerful scanners in the world.
The scanner's magnets need 22MW of electricity - enough to power a nuclear submarine." info@als-alexander.org or interalex1@yahoo.com
