The gene expression in human brains changes with age, with some genes decreasing expression while others increase

The gene expression in human brains changes with age, with some genes decreasing expression while others increase. This is illustrated by a chart of the expression of the gene MAP1B, which shows high levels expression in the young, variable levels of expression at intermediate ages, and greatly reduced expression in older people. For more information about the chart, please visit the tutorial on "Aging and the Human Brain".
