Grand Challenges for Engineering Article

This article addresses the Grand Challenge for Engineering of reverse-engineering the brain and talks about work being done by David Adler to create a map of the brain of a fruit fly in order to understand exactly how it functions. Adler sees this as the first stage towards creating a map of the human brain, and even eventually being able to recreate it.
