Google Scholar EndNote extension still works, for those of you who use EndNote and fidn it no longer speaks to PubMed

It appears that Endnote's connection to PubMed is dead - could that be down to the Shutdown? (Risking outing myself as a user of software that I am sure some of you find odious)

An automated treatment decision rule (TDR) can effectively assign older adults with late-life depression to psychotherapy or usual care, improving treatment outcomes and potentially increasing precision and cost-effectiveness. ja.ma/47KbZcQ

This paper was a pleasure to read as review editor! Congrats to the authors! For others, eNeuro has the best review process in town with a synthesized review by the editor in consultation with reviewers!

RIP Jim Watson. You inspired many of us to pursue a life in research. I wish you had made it easier for us to celebrate your legacy.

There’s growing evidence that something was going seriously wrong in the classic early work on cognitive dissonance Latest revelation: The story in When Prophecy Fails seems to have been fabricated in the most egregious way But this is not the only one… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Still think brain regions don’t exist? That everything is everywhere? That cell types don’t matter and that everything is a dynamical phase portrait? Wrong. Interconnected brain modules exist at the level of fine grained transcriptomics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Updated my OS so I can attend Teams meetings. No one died, but something inside of me did.

When brain talks back to the eye "The state of our brain shapes what we see, but how early in the visual system does this start? A new study in PLOS Biology shows that brain state-dependent release of histamine modulates the very first stage of vision in the retina" journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Submitted grant scores, despite the continuing shut down, hoping it resolves before we are supposed to meet. 3 of my own applications in limbo - waiting for meetings to be rescheduled. This clearly isn’t the best way to do it.

Kazuki Irie has a forthcoming paper in NeurIPS that studies the following idea: Linear attention has cheap, unbounded memory but low precision, whereas softmax attention has expensive, bounded memory but high precision. These can be combined to build better transformers. arxiv.org/abs/2506.00744

A core function of cortex is predicting what happens next given the world's state. This recent paper from Oxford shows how cortical layers may use a delay trick to learn to predict. A simple illustration can explain the idea. A🧵with my toy model and notes: #neuroskyence #compneuro #NeuroAI

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Are humans really the only rational animals? Our NEW PAPER 🎉 out in @science.org suggests otherwise! In a large collaboration led with my joint first author @hanna-schleihauf.bsky.social, we show that “Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs” 🧵

This paper is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Very compelling evidence that the extensive covariance of diverse psychopathology is not an artifact of cross-sectional factor analysis. They show extensive "co-morbidity" across generations and within-person, over time. doi.org/10.1037/abn0...
