Your brain is more scrambled than you think

Some evidence reported in Nature demonstrated that there is a higher frequency of L1 retrotransposition in the genomes of neural progenitor cells. This has some interesting potential implications such that the genomes of brain cells might be strinkingly different from those in other parts of the body. I originally read about it here: Jumping Genes Create Diversity in Human Brain Cells, Offering Clues to Evolutionary And Neurological Disease The original article can be found on the Nature site here.
