Chinese Brain Bank Established

In a follow-up to this post on brain morphology the Chinese, no wilting flowers they, in apparent disregard of the notion that race doesn't exist, have established a Brain Bank to study the Chinese brain.

Researchers in Hong Kong and China hope to persuade Chinese people to donate their grey matter to medical science.

Brain banks in the West do not have an adequate supply of brain tissue from the Chinese to make research feasible.

Hong Kong University says the project will help scientists to gain an understanding of the differences between the brains of different races.

This may have implications for the treatment of disease.
