Scientists have reconstructed short videos using only brain activity recorded from mice, effectively allowing researchers to recreate what the animals were seeing. The study, led by researchers at University College London (UCL), offers a new way to investigate how the brain transforms visual input into an internal representation of the world. Published in eLife, the findings could help scientists better understand how visual information is processed in the brain and may eventually make it possible to compare how different species perceive the same surroundings. Decoding What the Brain Sees Researchers have spent years trying to understand how the brain interprets…

The BBC understands that the drug companies Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca have not substantially lowered their prices since the drug was first rejected.The reason NICE has reversed its decision is largely because of a trade deal with the USA, where the UK government agreed to spend 25% more on medicines.As part of this, NICE has increased how much the NHS will pay for every extra year of good quality life a medication can give.This is known as a QALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Year) – and the upper threshold per QALY has gone from £30,000 to £35,000.At the end of August, NICE…

Climate attribution researchers say “there is absolutely no doubt” that decades of global warming set the stage for the deadly rock and glacier collapse on Langtang Lirung Mountain in Nepal. At least 1,300 people died in August when a cascade of semi-frozen sludge, boulders, trees and other debris roared through the region at speeds up to 100 mph and crested up to 300 feet high. The disaster destroyed and damaged towns, farms, orchards, roads, bridges and energy infrastructure, devastating livelihoods across the region. The total losses are now estimated at about $5 billion.  In a new analysis of the Aug.…

A House race in rural California has become one of the most competitive and expensive in the country – and it’s being defined largely by its candidates’ opposing stances toward corporate money.  The battle for the Golden State’s 22nd district is one of 21 House contests rated a “toss-up” by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. It’s one of the most closely watched races in the midterms, not only because it could determine control of the House, but also because it will test California’s redrawn maps and the viability of progressive candidates in swing districts.   After beating an establishment-backed, moderate opponent…

There are 500,000 children growing up in poorer families who are confronted by a similarly cruel cliff edge to the one covered by your article (Chancellor urged to fix £100k childcare ‘cliff edge’ that prompts parents to cut work, 10 September). It is this group of children who, having recently become eligible for means-tested free school meals during term time, are disqualified from accessing the holiday activities and food (HAF) programme. While the government has rightly acknowledged the need for those children to receive extra help during term time, it has somehow reached the decision that this need does not…

The election is one of the closest in recent Swedish history, and offered voters a sharp choice between electing a new left-wing government or allowing far-right ministers into power for the first time. Swedish public broadcaster SVT called the election for Andersson’s side on Wednesday night.
