Bracket Coding: The Optimal Balance Between Temporal Integration and Segregation in Early Visual Processing
Despite over a century of research into the neural code, the fundamental principles by which the brain encodes sensory information remain debated. In this study we provide converging evidence for the presence of a dynamic, fast-switching integration of rate and temporal coding in the thalamus, primary visual cortex, and higher-order visual cortical areas of mice viewing an array of visual stimuli. This scheme is primarily characterized by the presence of distinct, temporally coordinated...
Whole-genome duplication shaped cell-type evolution in the vertebrate brain
Abstract The complex brains of vertebrates have more cell types than those of their closest relatives. Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) occurred during early vertebrate evolution1, but it is unclear whether the duplicated genes (ohnologues) facilitated cell-type evolution. Here using brain single-cell transcriptomes from five chordates—human2, mouse3, lizard4, lamprey5 and amphioxus—we report that many cell-type families with conserved core transcription factors in vertebrates do not show...
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is not an alien spacecraft: SETI hunt for 'technosignatures' comes up empty
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is not an alien spacecraft: SETI hunt for 'technosignatures' comes up empty "The results from 3I/ATLAS show how realistic it is to detect a signal with the technology we have today." Sorry, true believers: It appears the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is indeed just a comet. Radio astronomers recently hunted for "technosignatures" coming from 3I/ATLAS, which is just the third confirmed interstellar object ever seen in our solar system.
Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS reveals no technosignatures in seven-hour radio scan
Scientists at the SETI Institute recently searched for technological signals from 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object observed in our solar system. Using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory in Northern California, the team scanned a wide range of radio frequencies for signs of extraterrestrial technology and found none, as expected based on other astronomical observations showing that the object exhibits natural comet-like composition and behavior. The...
Mapping the AI narrative in Kenya and South Africa's media
Mapping the AI narrative in Kenya and South Africa's media A new study by the Centre for Information Integrity in Africa (CINIA) at Stellenbosch University, supported by DW Akademie, takes a critical look at how artificial intelligence (AI) is covered in Kenyan and South African media. The research, titled "AI in the Media: Kenya and South Africa", analyses 57 articles and draws on two rounds of journalist interviews over a five-year period (2021-2026). The research finds that AI remains...
China’s grip on rare-earth magnets could crush US drone industry before it grows
Modern battlefields consume drones the way 20th-century conflicts consumed artillery shells: by the thousands, every day, with no end in sight. Ukraine built 5 million drones last year. Russia launched 805 in a single night against Ukrainian cities.
The Left Needs to Rediscover Its Patriotism
One the eve of the 250th anniversary of the nation’s independence, more Americans on the right than on the left say they feel patriotic. Recent polls show that a majority of Democrats are “proud” of the country only when a president of their party is in the White House. And many progressive activists and historians see the founding of the nation as a tragedy for Native Americans and enslaved people instead of the glorious fight for liberty that conservatives insist it was.

Farmers are increasingly embracing change, and it's bringing them hope
Farms in Focus report shows despite the difficulty, farmers are increasingly embracing change Fri 5 Jun 2026 at 9:59am When grazier Matthew Peart took over his family's organic beef operation almost 20 years ago, his pastures were rundown and the future looked as bleak as the barren paddocks. Alongside his brother, he embarked on a journey to regenerate the 6,000 hectare property in central Queensland, "It was a bit of a lonely road at times … all of a sudden you were speaking a language...
