A NASA image of Mars being passed around on social media over the weekend has imaginations running wild.

The photo shows a stone formation in front of what may be a kind of cave. Some say it looks a bit like a crab monster straight out of a science fiction tale.

What is it? NASA

The year-end roundup has become an annual tradition here at The Connectome. In 2012 and 2013, we broke down the top five most fascinating, transformative, implication-riddled neuroscience discoveries of the year.

And now we’re back to do the same for 2014.

This year has seen a lot of steps forward in many of the areas we predicted – including optogenetics, connectomics, and brain-to-brain interfaces. It’s also brought some discoveries that seemed to come utterly out of the blue, and that may change the way we look at some of neuroscience’s most central questions.

I have a confession to make: I never formally studied neuroscience. Actually, I freely admit this fact to anyone who asks – and the most frequent follow-up question I get is, “Then how did you teach yourself enough about neuroscience to write about it professionally?”
The answer is that I took what’s known as the “brute-force” approach: I searched Google Scholar for every paper containing the keywords I was interested in. I saved and printed every paper that looked worth reading. I sat on my couch with a foot-high stack of papers beside me, and I read every single one. When I came to a word I didn’t know, I looked it up. I kept doing this every night until I fell asleep. And when I came home from the office the next day, I did the same thing all over again. Rinse-and-repeat for a…

Kepler-452b: NASA Mission Discovers ‘Older, Bigger Cousin’ to Earth

NASA on Thursday announced the discovery of Kepler-452b, the most Earth-like planet ever found. Located 1,400 light-years from our planet, NASA called it “Earth 2.0,” because it’s the first small, rocky planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun.

“We can think of Kepler-452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Earth’s evolving environment,” said Jon Jenkins, the Kepler data analysis lead at NASA’s Ames Research Center.

The planet is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sun, making for a slightly longer year of 385 days, but gets similar light because its sun is 20 percent brighter than our own.

An artist’s concept compares Earth (left) to the new planet, called Kepler-452b, which is about 60 percent larger in diameter. NASA/JPL-Caltech/T. Pyle

Incredible Octopus Behavior Nearly Caused Scientist To Drown From Laughing

It doesn’t take a backbone to be a genius — or a master of the comedic arts, apparently.
An octopus has been captured on film exhibiting one of the most remarkable (and amusing) examples of tool usage in the animal kingdom. Footage shows the eight-limbed animal literally walking along the ocean floor carrying two halves of a broken coconut shell beneath his arms, seemingly without rhyme or reason.
But this tentacled one knows exactly what he’s doing.

New Horned Dinosaur Species Called ‘Most Striking’ Ever Discovered

Say hello to one of Triceratops’ oldest relatives.

Scientists recently discovered the fossilized bones of a striking new species of horned dinosaur in southern Alberta, Canada. The 200-plus fossils are believed to have belonged to four specimens of Wendiceratops pinhornenis–three adults and one young dino.

According to the researchers, W. pinhornenis lived about 79 million years ago. Measuring about 6 meters (20 feet) in length and weighing more than a ton, it sported a parrot-like beak suited to eating scrubby plants. And while the dinosaur likely had a wide frill extending from its neck and horns over the eyes, its most bizarre feature was the giant horn on its nose. It’s the earliest known example of a tall, upright nose horn in the horned dinosaur family.

How 3-D printing helped a Canadian rooster strut again

A rooster found in Calgary earlier this year had lost its feet. Frostbite was probably the culprit, but whatever the reason, the bird couldn’t really get around that well.
“He just had stumps to walk on. More or less, he was hopping,” Daniel Pang, an assistant professor of veterinary medicine at the University of Calgary, told the Calgary Herald. “We had concerns of physical damage, that he wouldn’t be able to exhibit normal behaviours for a rooster … and he wouldn’t be able to get away from predators or dangerous situations.”
So Pang decided to help out the little guy. He got a hand from Mark Ungrin — and from the 3-D printer that Ungrin, another assistant professor of veterinary medicine at the university, had in his lab.

Just look at this little champion. (Riley Brandt/University of Calgary)

One day after its historic flyby of Pluto and almost a decade since its launch, NASA’s New Horizons space probe has delivered what we’ve all been waiting for: eye-popping photos of the dwarf planet and its moons.
