This is not Mickey mouse!

Paul Allen, of Microsoft fame, has started the Allen Institute. Their latest project allows the public (Neuroscientists) to examine the brain functions of a mouse! Online viewers can select various parts of the brain to understand what functions relate to a given region.

Neuroscientists are applauding Allen's generosity of providing this revolutionary research au gratis. This is the same man that donated the Experience Music Project in Seattle. A very cool interactive attraction housed in an equally cool Frank Gehry building.
