Using night shots of major cities taken from the International Space Station and comparing them to brain scans found at the Wadsworth Centre in New York, researchers were floored by the uncanny likeness between the two images. This suggests that the development of the human brain may not be so different from the way in which a city develops and grows over time. An interesting idea.
