Nice images.  Using scanning at this level of detail it may well be
possible to answer some of the old nature/nurture questions.  If two
animals were raised under the same conditions and then their brains
imaged in this way how much variation would there be.  Also imaging
the brains of genetically identical individuals raised under similar
conditions should give some idea of to what extent brain wiring is
predetermined by the genetic sequence.
