🫁❤️New preprint out: The social, decoupled self We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to see this work published in @natcomms.nature.com! 🧠📊 In-vivo evidence of E/I alterations underlying functional changes in individuals with autism in the large ABIDE1 dataset AND replication in the independent ABIDE2 dataset.

I think it's time to retire the idea that oxytocin is exclusively a 'social' hormone. In our latest preprint, led by @kjerstimw.bsky.social, we argue that oxytocin should be reframed as a behavioral flexibility hormone osf.io/preprints/os...

The NIH announced a plan to pour $50 million into data science projects investigating autism’s causes, but the initiative’s short timeline and lack of details have prompted questions about how the work will progress. By @avaskham.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/nih...

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. verkündete, dass er Wissenschaftlern, die öffentliche Forschungsgelder erhalten, verbieten will, in den führenden medizinischen [Peer-reviewed-]Fachjournalen zu publizieren. Stattdessen will Kennedy eigene Fachzeitschriften herausgeben” www.sueddeutsche.de/wissen/us-re...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

"Science is an investment. We will put forward a new 500 million package for 2025-2027 to support the best and the brightest researchers and scientists from Europe and around the world." — President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu at the ‘Choose Europe for Science' event at La Sorbonne 🇫🇷

Gorillas offer clues to how social relationships work in humans – study

This Thursday I will give a talk on (causal) mediation analysis -- happy to have finally worked out what I want to tell people. And happy to pilot a new mode of slide sharing: just putting them on my website (juliarohrer.com/resources/)

The medial #PFC is involved in economic & social #DecisionMaking in humans. @zhilinsu.bsky.social l @sdnl.bsky.social &co show that dorsal mPFC is causally implicated in susceptibility to social influence, while ventral mPFC is involved in temporal discounting @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3GwXqQ7

New paper in @pnasnexus.org: we study how collective decisions emerge via sensorimotor coordination between multiple neuroinspired artificial agents. Successful consensus requires balanced internal neural dynamics, environmental coupling & social interactions. #SocialNeuroAI #Alignment #MultiAgents
