Amygdala Shifts Between Learning Strategies to Enable Flexible Choices

New Dartmouth-led research reframes the amygdala as a dynamic arbiter that toggles between action-based and stimulus-based learning under uncertainty, promoting flexible decision-making. When the amygdala is damaged, arbitration becomes random and behavior locks into rigid action-based patterns. The findings offer a potential path for treating phobias and anxiety by encouraging action-based exploration over stimulus-driven fear, and pave the way for further studies on how the amygdala coordinates with prefrontal circuits to guide learning.

Tariff upheaval leaves businesses and shoppers facing uncertainty

Following a Supreme Court ruling that blocked reciprocal tariffs, Trump invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act to impose a new 10% global tariff, later hinted to rise to 15%, creating widespread uncertainty for businesses and consumers as existing trade deals may be overridden, refunds for past levies remain unclear, and higher import costs could push prices higher, with UK exporters potentially facing billions in extra costs and firms considering diversification away from the US.

Tariffs in Turmoil: Small Biz Hit Hard by 2025 Trade Push

The Dispatch chronicles how Trump’s 2025 tariff program, under IEEPA, disrupted American commerce and squeezed small businesses. Stories like Busy Baby Mat’s owner cutting staff and draining savings illustrate widespread revenue losses and looming costs as shipments stalled and duties rose. While tariff revenue increased, studies say Americans shoulder about 96% of tariff costs. The Supreme Court could rule the tariffs illegal, potentially triggering refunds, but uncertainty remains whether the administration will reinstate tariffs under other codes, prompting firms to rethink supply chains and some to seek suppliers abroad.
