the brain of a fly



I read an article the other day. Scientists have mapped the entire brain of a fly. Although the total size of the brain is smaller than a pin head, the brain of a fly has 130,000 cells and 50 million connections.

The researchers have been able to identify separate circuits for many individual functions and show how they are connected.

I found this to be amazing. Such a small little creature, yet it's brain is so complex. Scientist say that understanding the wiring of the brain of a fly is a great step towards understanding the human brain which is of course, much more complicated.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Oh Lord, how majestic are your ways in all of the earth.

It is a beautiful, amazing day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
