My med school textbook says stimulants like Ritalin treat hyperactivity by “stimulating” the brain’s attention and cognitive control systems. We studied children taking stimulants in the ABCD Study, and the largest differences were actually in arousal and reward networks! Check out our
preprint

New landmark TMS trial dropped by Jonathan Downar's team, which will revolutionize care for depression even more than the SAINT trial did – extensive (10 hour!) sessions of TMS in a single day, enhanced by single dose of cycloserine. 90% response, 70% remission!

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE STUDY SECTIONS IN THE BACK: ". . . classical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) . . . can be reliable when averaged across tens of people, or even in an individual, given sufficient repetition."

hi bluesky! here for fun papers so I'll start by sharing one :D in this preprint we found that a small dose of TMS to the posterior parietal cortex reduced risk-taking propensity. super fun collaboration with Vaughn Steele and Anna Konova (are either of you here?!)
