Piddington residents overwhelmingly backed a symbolic break from Britain after officials proposed housing up to 1,200 asylum seekers beside the tiny Oxfordshire village. Residents voted 285-26 for secession in the non-binding referendum, with results announced Wednesday. Breitbart reported that 312 ballots were cast and the vote carried no legal force. The government wants to turn a former Ministry of Defense base near Piddington into housing for male asylum seekers. The proposal would place up to 1,200 people beside a village with about 350 residents. The Oxfordshire village sits roughly half a mile from the former Bicester base and about 50 miles northwest of London. That makes the proposed center more than three times larger than the…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Ohio Sunoco’s $9.99 gasoline display pointed to empty tank, worker says

An Ohio Sunoco did not charge $9.99 for regular gas; an employee said the unusual display appeared because the station’s tank was empty. Photos posted Saturday showed the Gibsonburg station advertising regular gasoline at $9.99 and diesel at $6.89, Newsweek reported. A station employee offered a simpler explanation Sunday. The regular-gas tank was empty, the […] The post Ohio Sunoco’s $9.99 gasoline display pointed to empty tank, worker says appeared first on American Almanac .

An Ohio Sunoco did not charge $9.99 for regular gas; an employee said the unusual display appeared because the station’s tank was empty. Photos posted Saturday showed the Gibsonburg station advertising regular gasoline at $9.99 and diesel at $6.89, Newsweek reported . A station employee offered a simpler explanation Sunday. The regular-gas tank was empty, the employee said, so the displayed figure was not an actual sale price. The images spread quickly after Ohio lawyer and political commentator Tom Renz posted them on X. Radio host Alex Jones shared the pictures, and the original post topped 770,000 views by Sunday. The distinction matters because fuel costs were already rising. AAA listed the national average at $4.48 Sunday, while…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Lynn Jenkins) - Researchers put human neurons into mice, raising new ethical questions

Stanford researchers placed millions of lab-grown human neurons into mice, creating a disease model that also raises hard questions about consciousness and animal rights. NPR reported that the team used mice missing most of their cerebral cortexes, then filled much of that space with human cortical neurons grown in a laboratory. The goal was to […] The post Researchers put human neurons into mice, raising new ethical questions appeared first on American Almanac .

Stanford researchers placed millions of lab-grown human neurons into mice, creating a disease model that also raises hard questions about consciousness and animal rights. NPR reported that the team used mice missing most of their cerebral cortexes, then filled much of that space with human cortical neurons grown in a laboratory. The goal was to study neurodegenerative disease and other brain conditions. But the researchers stopped when the human cells reached roughly six months of development, before possible signs of consciousness might emerge. Sergiu Pașca, a Stanford professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, served as the senior author. The team published its findings in the journal Nature. Pașca said scientists have spent two…Open

What were the observed functional differences in the mice following the implantation of human neurons?
The mice retained strong movement despite the missing brain tissue, but they performed poorly on memory tasks; additionally, tests found differences in social interaction and responses to oxygen loss, with many deficits seen in mice without the grafts being absent after the human cells grew.

According to Sergiu Pașca, what is the main advantage of this new method compared to previous efforts to model the human brain?
Sergiu Pașca, a Stanford professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, argued that this approach could reveal brain functions that existing models cannot easily capture.
Q&A ID 10136a38-c336-438d-b71a-76a77778f7cc
Why did the researchers decide to end the experiment when the human cells reached roughly six months of development?
The experiments were ended at the six-month mark to precede possible signs or markers of consciousness that might emerge.
Q&A ID 4c5abc40-6955-4f71-9e4a-40866b89dfb2
What specific procedure did the Stanford research team use to allow human cortical neurons to grow within the mice?
The researchers used mice that were bred missing most of their cerebral cortexes, then filled much of that space with lab-grown human cortical neurons, providing the cells room to divide, expand, and develop blood vessels.
