• A message from the director
• Institute discovers fruit flies sleep
• Researcher's long hours don't dim pure joy of scientific quest

"This is the inaugural issue of Brain Matters, the newsletter of The Neurosciences Institute. We created this new communication tool to share with you some of the pioneering research we are conducting at the Institute. Our work centers on a human organ that weighs just 48 ounces, yet is the most complex object in the known universe. The network of connections between its neurons is so vast that counting the connections of the cerebral cortex alone at the rate of one per second would take 32 million years."
