Martian meteorite possibly brought life to Earth?

Compelling new data that chemical and fossil evidence of ancient microbial life on Mars was carried to Earth in a Martian meteorite is being elevated to a higher plane by the same NASA team which made the initial discovery 13 years ago.

Now, 13 years after the Martian meteorite Allen Hills ALH 84001 life story emerged, the science team finally feels vindicated.....

Their data shows the meteorite is no smoking gun but a full of evidence that supports the existence of life on the surface of Mars, or in subsurface water pools, early in the planet's history.

Digital Rat Brain Spontaneously Develops Organized Neuron Patterns

Digital Rat Brain Spontaneously Develops Organized Neuron Patterns. Simulated neurons begun spontaneously coordinating, and organizing themselves into a more complex pattern that resembles a wave.

This is the beginning of the self-organizing neurological patterns that eventually, in more complex mammal brains, become personality.

The researchers running Blue Brain hope that what they're learning about the organization of neurons in the simulated rat brain will allow them to create a digital human brain within 10 years, even though that is many orders of magnitude more complex than a rat brain.
