[VIDEO] When galaxies collide!

New Hubble observations indicate that our galaxy, the Milky Way, will physically collide and merge with the Andromeda galaxy... in about 4 billion years. This simulation shows how we think this event will unfold, taking about 2 billion years for the two to merge.

Researchers at The Neuro and the University of Maryland have figured out the mathematical calculations that specific neurons employ in order to inform us of our distance from an object and the 3D velocities of moving objects and surfaces relative to ourselves. Highly specialized neurons located in the brain's visual cortex, in an area known as MST, respond selectively to motion patterns such as expansion, rotation, and deformation. However, the computations underlying such selectivity were unknown until now.
