The challenge of mapping the brain
President Barack Obama announced the “BRAIN” Initiative in 2013. It's an effort to show the brain's neural circuits work together in real time. To find out more about efforts to map the brain, watch the "Moonshots" special on December 28 at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET.
Zakaria: Is it more difficult to map the brain than it was to map the human genome, which took about, initially, 10 or 15 years?
Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist: It will take a lot of time. Realize that the Human Genome Project only talked about maybe 20,000 genes or so that may that govern the human body. The brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10,000 other neurons. That's as many stars as there are in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Wow!
Kaku: And so it will take time.

When I was only 19 I used to sneak my mom's swizzle straws and stick them up frog butts and blow them up like little balloons and then squeeze the air out of them to make little fart sounds. Kind of cute my mommy say.
After 3 or four times the frog stops working so ya have to use a different one and it doesn't work very well with cats.

The Michael Brown memorial is a pile of trash. Rotten teenage nig ger.
There are 33,000 gang members in our nation that cause more harm to Americans than ISIS could ever dream of doing. Our government is supporting ISIS and Boko Haram.
And where do all these nig gers get off shooting at police officers? That's what we get for displacing these degenerates. Should have left them in Africa.
Banasy, chrissy, and bobsnot are old hags. And Americans are getting fatter and fatter...oh but it's my metabolism. Yea right. Sorry excuse. So keep stuffing your face.

My mom laughed her ass off when she saw me taking swizzle stick straws and poking them up frog's butts and blowing them up like small balloons and then squeezing the air out to make little fart noises. After 3 or 4 times the frog stops working so ya have to get another one or a cat or something.
Knock it off Rupert!
The CIA was behind the Sony hacking. Have no doubt. Nothing like starting a little conflict with NK..huh? Uncle Sam.. The US was the mastermind behind the downing of the two Malaysian planes. Our CIA along with Obama really do belong in Africa with the animals.
