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. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=108809214-a0d121 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
