We Mapped a Fly’s BRAIN

A global team of 287 researchers have combined over 100 terabytes of data to create a full map of a fruit fly’s brain, which includes 139,255 individual neurons and 50 million connections.

      It’s just the first core branch, without mapping we can’t advance this tech

      Imagine one day technology advances far enough we can control a 3D printed fly with a VR set and play fly simulator interacting with real flies and shit, damn that would be dope.

    Fascinating. If you believe in an afterlife, & your brain has rotted, what does science teach you about the ability to think?

      Science is constantly researching our brain abilities but researches have found and proved that our brain shows our whole life in something like a short film for us, just before we die and it shuts off. Biology is truly fascinating

The Radioactive “Miracle Water” That Killed Its Believers

If you lived in the 1920s, you might have found a pamphlet advertising “the greatest therapeutic force known to mankind.” Radithor was a tiny bottle of clear, colorless water that claimed to cure acne, anemia, heart disease, poison ivy, impotence, asthma, and any other malady you could imagine. There was only one side effect: DEATH.…

If you lived in the 1920s, you might have found a pamphlet advertising “the greatest therapeutic force known to mankind.” Radithor was a tiny bottle of clear, colorless water that claimed to cure acne, anemia, heart disease, poison ivy, impotence, asthma, and any other malady you could imagine.

There was only one side effect: DEATH.

So, why did 1920s Americans go gaga for radioactive water? Well, it’s complicated.

What’s Really Underneath This Massive, Noisy Siberian Crater?

In a remote area of the Siberian tundra, there’s a place that locals call ‘The Gateway to Hell.’ In the summer, its peaceful waterfall sounds are interrupted by the booms and crashes of falling earth. And while it‘s not actually a portal to another dimension, the Batagay Crater (technically a “megaslump”) is an unsettling mark…

And while it‘s not actually a portal to another dimension, the Batagay Crater (technically a “megaslump”) is an unsettling mark of our changing world.
