ago cooked freshwater or marine animals in ceramic vessels.
The highly contentious proposal to map the entire output of a human brain just got a huge boost yesterday. Researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Virginia published the first brain activity map (BAM) of any creature ever recorded. With this initial achievement, the brush has been cleared so that scaling this capability up to larger animals — and to humans — is no longer unimaginable.

This video has stunned scientists around the world as this bird thinks critically just like a human to catch fish. Give a fish a piece of bread and it will won't be hungry for a day but teach it to fish...well you get it.
Brainy Bird Uses Bread as Bait While Fishing. That time a bird pooped on you while you just happened to be wearing a new cashmere sweater? That might not have been an accident. We already know some birds are smart enough to speak a bit and even perform basic tasks, but this somewhat frighteningly intelligent bird has figured out how to use bread as bait in order to catch fish. Just watch the cold, calculating patience and then wonder what other breakthroughs birds might be thinking up during all that downtime. It's probably only a matter of time before birds and dolphins team up and enslave us all.

Scientists have identified cells in the nose of trout that respond to magnetism, offering a biological explanation for how animals orient themselves and find their way.
The discovery - and particularly the new method that enabled it - opens up avenues for all sorts of futuristic applications, including miniaturised GPS systems or gene therapies that would restore sight, hearing or smell to people who have lost those senses.
