1. Promise Theory is a general theory about the mechanics of abstract "agents" and their "intended" behaviours, i.e. processes. It was originally proposed as a model for Computer Networks, but has since been applied to many different scenarios, from physics to sociology.
This one is new to me. Nice.

Scientists unveil first draft of atlas of the developing brain
Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages until adulthood, knowledge that could point to new ways of tackling certain brain-related conditions like autism and schizophrenia.
