全球首个雄性果蝇完整神经连接图发布，数字果蝇进入游戏世界
一只数字果蝇，最近几天突然成了互联网上最忙的「赛博打工人」。 网友把它塞进《Minecraft》《DOOM》《Beat Saber》等虚拟世界，让它玩游戏、倒车入库、切土耳其烤肉、解魔方，甚至模拟交易、发布LinkedIn帖子。 虽然看起来像是一场互联网恶搞，但这只果蝇背后，并不是一个普通的游戏模型，而是一份刚刚公开的科研成果。 9月3日，HHMI Janelia Research Campus联合Google Research以及多个科研团队发布了全球首个成年雄性黑腹果蝇完整中枢神经系统连接图MaleCNS v1.0。 这份连接图记录了一只雄性果蝇超过16.6万个神经元之间的连接关系。 短短两周内，网友们把这份「数字大脑地图」搬进游戏世界，一场关于生命模拟的另类实验，也从实验室蔓延到了互联网。 把果蝇大脑塞进游戏，它在虚拟世界里活过来了？ 最早让这只数字果蝇走红的，是佐治亚理工学院计算机科学研究生Evan Sinclair Smith。 9月5日，他在X上展示了一项实验：自己已经将MaleCNS...
Evaluating the 8-Year Association Between Cognition and Beta Amyloid in the Dallas Lifespan Brain Study Cohort
1 Introduction Extracellular beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition has been considered a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) for some time (Hardy and Allsop 1991). While the exact pattern of deposition within the brain varies, recent advances in neuroimaging have revealed that the process begins prior to clinically meaningful cognitive impairment. Regardless, some studies have observed subtle decrements to cognition in association with Aβ during this preclinical stage of AD (Farrell et al.
Why Supply Chain Risk Management Plans Tend to Fail
The supply chain risk management plans most enterprises are running today are going to fail. The teams are sharp. The plans are crisp and clear. The dashboards are lit up with alerts. But the trade environment — laden with complex tariffs, rigorous compliance expectations, and geopolitical fragmentation — has changed faster than traditional supply chain risk management (SCRM) could evolve.

Don’t let World Cup be Pioneer Square’s high-water mark
Over the last month, Seattle was something we haven’t been in a while: unguarded, joyful, overflowing. Pioneer Square shut its streets and filled them with drums, flags, strangers hugging strangers, and lines at businesses still struggling through a post-COVID recovery. Our new waterfront buzzed. Seattle Center hummed. Visitors got a version of our city locals may have forgotten was possible. We should be proud.
Further Delaying “Liberation Day” Tariff Refunds Only Costs Taxpayers More
It’s been months since the Supreme Court ruled that the “Liberation Day” tariffs were unlawful, yet the costs of that policy failure continue to mount for taxpayers. Between April 2025 and February 2026, Donald Trump levied tariffs under the authority of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Court on February 20 ruled that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs.
Why your supply chain risk management plan will fail
The supply chain risk management plans most enterprises are running today are going to fail. The teams are sharp. The plans are crisp and clear. The dashboards are lit up with alerts. But the trade environment—laden with complex tariffs, rigorous compliance expectations, and geopolitical fragmentation—has changed faster than traditional SCRM could evolve. What started as monitoring for discrete supply chain disruptions now has to support a different set of trade demands.
Tariffs on Brazil Are Really Taxes on Americans
On June 1, 2026, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) concluded an investigation into a variety of Brazilian trade practices under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The USTR proposed a 25% punitive tariff on Brazilian goods in response to Brazil’s practices related to digital trade and electronic payment services, unfair preferential tariffs, anti-corruption enforcement, intellectual property protection, ethanol market access, and illegal deforestation.
Why Markwayne Mullin must prioritize the trade engine of Homeland Security
The swearing-in of Markwayne Mullin as the Secretary of Homeland Security marks a fresh start for a critically important department that impacts the daily lives of the American public in ways often unseen. While much of the immediate political oxygen will be consumed by border enforcement and immigration policy, the Secretary has a generational opportunity to redefine the mission of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for a new era to also include economic security.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 20: A container ship floats loaded with shipping containers at the Port of Los Angeles on February 20, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. The U.S....

Investment Loans under 75k
I'm looking to purchase several investment properties valued under $75,000 or less. Ideally they would be DSCR loans, but can be flexible with the price point issue. I know this price point is below most lender’s minimal loan amount so I’m asking to see if anyone knows of any lenders that will accommodate the lower loan amount.

Why an NBA championship is the Timberwolves' to lose after last season
The Minnesota Timberwolves were long viewed as an afterthought for a playoff spot, but that reputation was flipped on its head recently. The 2023-24 season saw the Wolves finish with a 56-26 record, the second-most wins in franchise history. This culminated in a Western Conference Finals berth, leading to new expectations of being perennial contenders. Going into the 2023-24 NBA campaign, the Wolves were looked at as nothing more than a potential playoff team. This wasn’t without reason.
LOOKING FOR ANDY GRIFFITH
A nonfiction writer interweaves stories of painful fatherhood experiences with reflections on the TV star who became his personal symbol of the ideal father. Smith grew up worshipping the Andy Griffith Show and the gentle, small-town world of Mayberry it depicted. The biggest draw was Andy Griffith himself, the beloved North Carolina–born actor who was also a distant family relation.
Wolves fans must be patient with fan-favorite forward this postseason
Naz Reid: two words sure to resonate with any Minnesota Timberwolves fan, but when will the beloved big man have one of his signature offensive games in the playoffs? This is not to say the 2024 Sixth Man of the Year hasn't contributed, as the Wolves have taken a 2-0 series lead against the Phoenix Suns. Reid had 12 points, two rebounds, and two assists in game one on 4-of-10 shooting from the field.
Greenville reality TV star Adam Larson takes on a new ‘Challenge’
A few months back, Greenville resident Adam Larson went to see a physical therapist about his aching leg. He’d pulled his quadricep, the muscle located in the front of the thigh, and the injury had only gotten worse because Larson had continued to put heavy strain on the leg for weeks after the initial injury. “I was operating injured the entire season,” Larson said.
PIAA 6A: Spring-Ford girls snap Norwin's 14-game win streak to make semis
Evan Smith (@EvanRGSmith) –– STATE COLLEGE — State College High School’s north gym felt like it was packed for a Norwin home game. The Knights entered Friday night’s PIAA Class 6A girls basketball quarterfinal game with confidence backed by a loud contingent of fans, riding a 14-game winning streak. However, Spring-Ford refused to be intimidated as it held the game in its hands for its entirety, advancing to the state semifinals with a 60-47 victory over the District 7 champions.

3 Timberwolves who need to perform this postseason
For Minnesota Timberwolves fans who have stuck around through thick and thin, it might be odd to think that the team is all but confirmed to make the playoffs for the third year in a row. Now that this is the new standard, players need to up their play to ensure that the Wolves have a chance for a deep playoff push. Although the Timberwolves will be making a repeat appearance in the postseason, head coach Chris Finch didn't have the luxury of rolling out his regular rotation last time out.

Lethal Performance tossed us the keys to their Whipple-supercharged, 833-RWHP 2024 Mustang GT. We immediately flogged it at the track.

Greenville's Meyer Center marks 70 years empowering children with disabilities
It’s normal to be afraid. That’s what Greenville parent Erin Phillips has learned in the years since her twin girls, Finley and Frannie, were diagnosed with cerebral palsy, a motor disability caused by abnormal brain development that affects a person’s ability to control their muscles. Phillips and her husband, Ryan, adopted Finley and Frannie when they were newborns. By the time the girls were 8 months old, both received a formal diagnosis of cerebral palsy.

Simpsonville club supports families dealing with childhood food allergies
Dana Johnston didn’t realize she was feeding her daughter poison every day. Even now, she feels guilty thinking about it. She has to remind herself that using words like “poison” to describe otherwise healthy, normal food is hardly fair to herself. “I know I shouldn’t use that word, but as a mother, you just can’t help but feel guilty about things like this,” Johnston said.

Minnesota forward’s scoring crucial to Wolves' success
The Minnesota Timberwolves are in the midst of their most successful season to date, accumulating a 28-11 record nearly halfway through the campaign. However, like any team, there's always room to improve, especially if the team is gearing up for a legitimate playoff run. That’s where the scoring ability of two-way small-forward Jaden McDaniels comes in. McDaniels was selected with the 28th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Why ‘no platform’ still matters
The past decade has seen a surge in the global far right, with increased blurriness between the extreme right and the mainstream. At the same time, there has been renewed discussion about ‘no platforming’, seen by some as a necessary anti-fascist tactic and by others as evidence of ‘cancel culture’ and left-wing intolerance of controversial ideas. So what is ‘no platform’ and why does it matter?
Author of rollicking ‘Lone Ranger’ origin tale in Greenville on Oct. 29
As a lifelong resident of Buffalo, New York, author Stephen Eoannou can rightfully call himself an expert on all things Buffalo. But when he overheard someone at a party mention that the creator of “The Lone Ranger” was from Buffalo, he was surprised. “I honestly didn’t believe the guy,” Eoannou said.

A key Timberwolves X-factor: The leadership of Mike Conley
Heading into the 2023-24 NBA season, most of the conversations surrounding the Minnesota Timberwolves are related to shooting guard Anthony Edwards, and how Head Coach Chris Finch will incorporate bigs Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony-Towns. However, the veteran point guard Mike Conley seems to be forgotten by many. Conley has always brought a calming presence to whatever team he plays for, and his play on the court has seemingly carried over to the locker room.

Nets' Harry Giles Makes 'Amazing' NBA Return After Injuries
Center Harry Giles returned to the NBA after a myriad of injury issues, this time donning a new jersey, that of the Brooklyn Nets. Giles started a preseason game against Maccabi Ra’anana, where he put up 16 points, 10 rebounds, and one steal in only 20 minutes. Giles has not been on an NBA roster since the 2020-21 season where he played only 38 games for the Portland Trail Blazers. When speaking about his return to the NBA, Giles had this to say.
For the Australian Far Right, Aboriginal Rights Have Always Been Synonymous With Communism
On October 14, Australians will vote in a referendum to include an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander “Voice” in the country’s constitution. If successful, it will require Parliament to legislate for a body with the power to make representations to the government on issues concerning First Nations people. Revealingly, in recent weeks the No campaign has begun turning to anti-communist rhetoric to smear the Voice.

At the time, Towns was heralded as a do-it-all big who could make an impact on both ends of the basketball court and was seen as a vital building block to take the franchise back to the NBA Playoffs.

Metropolitan Arts Council marks 50 years supporting Greenville artists, performers
The hard truth about art is that it is often forced to justify itself in terms of economics. At least, that’s how Alan Ethridge sees it.

Now celebrating its 50th year in Greenville, MAC is primarily a funding agency to provide support to local artists.
