/PRNewswire/ From 300,000 mouse neurons, scientists hope to glean how the brain drives behavior. A newly released publicly available dataset is the largest.
When people die, their legacy follows like the wake of a boat steaming toward its destination.
Among the many people Kodiak recently bade final farewell to are Ellen Ross, Bob Bunsey and Lucien Bernard. All three will be remembered and revered for their vibrant, outspoken faith, which translated into action.
Ellen had a heart for the shut-ins. She and her husband, the late Bill Ross, often visited residents of the long-term Care Center at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center. They started their ministry in 1984 and kept doing it for 28 years.Â
âWhat I enjoyed most was coming here, seeing these faces and loving them,â Ellen said in an article from the Care Center. âI was here every Sunday except when we were fishing during the summer. There was always a volunteer to fill in if I couldnât make it.â

A new study from researchers at the Allen Institute collected and analyzed the largest single dataset of neurons electrical activity to glean principles of how we perceive the visual world around us. The study, published Wednesday in the journal
Nature, captures the hundreds of split-second electrical signals that fire when an animal is interpreting what it sees.
Your brain processes the world around you nearly instantaneously, but there are numerous lightning-fast steps between light hitting your retinas and the point at which you become aware of what s in front of you. Humans have three dozen different brain areas responsible for understanding the visual world, and scientists still don t know many of the details of how that pro
