Studies form the National Institute of Health has recently shown that every humans brain is made of the same things in the exact same molecular architecture. "Having at our fingertips detailed information about when and where specific gene products are expressed in the brain brings new hope for understanding how this process can go awry in schizophrenia, autism and other brain disorders," said NIMH Director Thomas R. Insel, M.D. This is the most important part of the discovery because it can maybe save millions of life's or even possibly make our learning better. Down below is a picture and there you can see the shape of breains from difrent races and kinds of people. This kind of information might also reveal illnesses before hand or even possibly show the date of birth because of development speed.

- This might connect to the unit we are studying because it about molecules and maybe those molecules are combined chemically or physically. This article and information that has just been unrelieved is very good for the society because if they have any kind of brain disorder doctors know how to heal it. Also it might help people to see what kind of brain disorders they might have before hand because of the growth rate of certain parts. I chose this article because it sounded very interesting to me that all humans have 1 thing in common which is the shape of the brain. I learnt that the all the human brains have the same molecular structure and the only difference occurs on different races of people which is a very small difference. While reading this article I thought about how we can use this to maybe design special brains on baby's and then plant it in them.
This is very interesting indeed. I'm not sure that I understand the image, but the idea behind knowing what disorders the brains may have. Scientists may be able to use this information to prevent or detect brain disorders. That would be great!
