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.

    You actually mapped Kamala Harris brain? Wow it is small and unable to tell the truth or stop cackling

      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

So, is it possible for a human body to burst into flames without warning? The similarities between these cases have lead modern scientists to fascinating conclusions.

Let’s launch our garbage into the sun!

Ummm, no. Earth is messy. So can’t we just send our junk somewhere else? Aside from the moral quandaries raised by such poor stewardship of our already disheveled solar system, Earthlings probably haven’t made a habit of beaming literal garbage into space yet because we simply can’t afford to.
