In the 21st century, these trends have continued, and several new approaches have come into prominence, including multielectrode recording, which allows the activity of many brain cells to be recorded all at the same time; genetic engineering, which allows molecular components of the brain to be altered experimentally; genomics, which allows variations in brain structure to be correlated with variations in DNA properties and neuroimaging.
Genetic engineering allows what?
molecular components of the brain to be altered experimentally;

The consolidation of the Bronx into New York City proceeded in two stages. In 1873, the state legislature annexed Kingsbridge, West Farms and Morrisania to New York, effective in 1874; the three towns were abolished in the process. In 1895, three years before New York's consolidation with Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, the whole of the territory east of the Bronx River, including the Town of Westchester (which had voted in 1894 against consolidation) and portions of Eastchester and Pelham, were annexed to the city. City Island, a nautical community, voted to join the city in 1896.
When did New York City annex West Farms?

The climate of Florida is tempered somewhat by the fact that no part of the state is distant from the ocean. North of Lake Okeechobee, the prevalent climate is humid subtropical (Koppen: Cfa), while areas south of the lake (including the Florida Keys) have a true tropical climate (Koppen: Aw). Mean high temperatures for late July are primarily in the low 90s Fahrenheit (3234 C). Mean low temperatures for early to mid January range from the low 40s Fahrenheit (47 C) in northern Florida to above 60 F (16 C) from Miami on southward. With an average daily temperature of 70.7 F (21.5 C), it is the warmest state in the country.
