Marco Iacoboni, a lab director at the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, says when people see a smile, so-called mirror neurons fire in their brain and evoke a similar neural response as if they were smiling themselves.
The way the Winbot, which I borrowed for a week, works is that it attaches itself to a window, like a tick, and then scuttles back and forth, its brain somehow mapping the window's dimensions and remembering the area it has already covered.
In the seemingly infinite galaxy of philanthropy, the Liberty Science Center Genius Gala sparkled brightly on Friday night, not only honoring chess legend Garry Kasparov, brain-mapping scientist Dr. Cori Bargmann and entrepreneur Richard Branson, but with stratospherically smart award presenters like James Watson, best known for his co-discovery of DNA, election predictor Nate Silver and astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
Researchers at the Allen Institute For Brain Science have completed their four year task of mapping the brain based on all known parts of the genome.

Researchers at 11 institutions are mapping the largest conduits among brain regions by combining four imaging techniques, including a new method called diffusion magnetic-resonance imaging that allows researchers for the first time to accurately map the white matter of nerve fibers.
They studied the nerve cells that regulate appetite using a 'genetic fate mapping' technique and found that some cells added neurons to the appetite-regulating circuitry of the mouse brain after birth and into adulthood.
