Breaking News: Harvard rejected the Trump administration’s demands, including that it submit to monitoring and reduce the power of faculty and students.

Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands

Federal officials said Harvard must enact “merit-based reform” in hiring and admissions, among other things. Harvard called the demands unlawful.

Blind mice use stereo olfaction, comparing smells between nostrils, to maintain a stable sense of direction. Blocking this ability disrupts their internal compass.

Neurons in the medial temporal lobe do not fire in sequence to object presentation. A working memory experiment revealed theta-locked firing without item order. RNNs mirror this pattern, suggesting memory relies on phase coding, not replay.
