/1 Here's yet another study on the thalamus in PTSD! We show that PTSD patients display different patterns of connectivity between the thalamus & cortex. Different nuclei displayed different patterns of altered RSFC.. #neuroskyence #neuroscience #science #fMRI www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped spread the word. Thousands of Minnesotans gathered tonight for a vigil honoring Renee Good, who was murdered by ICE agents. Let’s get ICE out of MN!

This paper had a pretty shocking headline result (40% of voxels!), so I dug into it, and I think it is wrong. Essentially: they compare two noisy measures and find that about 40% of voxels have different sign between the two. I think this is just noise!

The calendar changes— on the one hand, an entirely arbitrary chronological signifier. On the other, an absolutely necessary chance to catch our breath, renew our energies, and look ahead. Let’s go!

How is the thalamus impacted by trauma? The thalamus is more than a relay - it is a key node in perceptual, cognitive, and affective processing circuits. We found that the limbic thalamus has lower volume in both PTSD and MDD, while the sensorimotor thalamus has lower volume in PTSD only /1
