At the MoMA’s Marcel Duchamp exhibit, what all the works on display share “is a disregard for capital and for the way it shapes or encroaches on artistic practice, corrupting the freedom of the mind,” Hilton Als writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/yzOn0t

Is there a more incompetent profession than NHL refs?

Opposing BOLD signals and oxygen metabolism largely arise from statistical uncertainty in metabolic estimates https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.21.719913v1

Training at MSKCC I heard from Jerry Posner, Josep Dalmau, Bob Darnell etc... about autoimmune paraneoplastic syndromes. They observed that the cancers tended to be kept in check. This led to the hope that we could treat cancer with immunotherapy. This promise is now starting to be realized.

After two years I finally got an appointment with a Family Physician. An AI would have done a better job. At the risk of generalizing, Quebec Health care may well be the worst in the developed world.

How do #circadian clocks regulate glucose processing? By integrating human metabolite profiling with isotope-tracing in #Drosophila, this study defines daily rhythms in #glucose utilization that are influenced by circadian timing @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3Olm1M1

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a powerful tool to study white matter maturation. In our new preprint, we process and distribute a new resource of >24,000 ABCD dMRI scans using open source tools! We then evaluate how methods shape inferences about development. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Wow! CIHR expects me to input every publication resulting from my foundation grant... by hand!

Correlating brain maps across datasets is everywhere in neuroimaging. Here we ask: when you contextualize a brain map against genes, metabolism, or connectivity... What can you really conclude? How can we do better? We explore these questions here: tinyurl.com/2dudkevc

Kraepelin was right all along. We may need to think of schizophrenia along a neurodevelopmental - neurodegenerative axis. "This study accords with previous work suggesting that dementia is a common outcome of schizophrenia and may arise from the illness itself."

I didn't think I would hear Fred Andermann mentioned in an old episode of Car Talk! The show opened with a story about uncontrollable laughter (aka gelastic seizures) as a symptom of hypothalamic tumour, which Ray suggested might explain Tom's behaviour. Then cited Dr Andermann.

Beautifully outlined, how reviewer comments and curiosity should usually be suggestions not commandments.
