interesting you mention UCSF. I just met someone working in the lab that is doing this research, and was astonished to discover patients are awake during brain surgery for this exact reason; to discover and preserve the parts of the brain most critical to certain areas of life -- areas that differ person to person. She also said each brain looks way different. Some a grey, some are pink.
