Unlocking Human Memory: Insights from Fly Brain Mapping

A groundbreaking study reveals the intricate workings of the Drosophila melanogaster brain, offering profound insights into human cognition. This research maps over 139,000 neurons and 50 million synapses, bridging the gap between species and enhancing our understanding of memory. Plus, Bill Nye steps into the ballot battle over Washington's carbon market, while Chinese scientists achieve a world first in terahertz wireless communication. Finally, we explore the bizarre phenomenon of 'negative time' observed in a quantum experiment, challenging our understanding of reality.
