Some Things Happening in the World of the Brain

This is a new research project recently launched at one of the colleges that I'm applying to. It's called the "Human Connectome Project". Think Human Genome Project, except in the brain. Scientists are mapping the brain and trying to find out what all the different connections mean and do. Very Interesting!
