How diffrent are peoples brains from each other. It would be very intressting to make a DNA microarray of gene expression in diffrent peoples brains to see how many of the genes expressed are diffrent in their expression between diffrent people. I know the brain has about 15000 active genes but I dont know how many of them are acctually associated with "thinking" and how many are normal genes doing cellular funktions that are not specific for the brain. Does anyone have any exerience of DNA-microarray, have you heard of any similar experiments done yet? Do you have any links to databases of brain gene expression? I know there is at least one.
