For decades, the "us here, them there" hermetic partition model has run into fundamental stumbling blocks. I'm pleased to have organized this webinar (us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...) with reps of the A Land for All movement, which offers solutions based on a mix of independence and integration.

Excellent luck. I had to read through like 20 papers on p-hacking to find the one I wanted.

When I first started working with resting state fMRI as a postdoc, there was a lot of skepticism about what we could learn from it. 20 years later, it's hard to imagine where the field of neuroscience would be without it. Here's a summary 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thank you @clairelavalley.bsky.social and @rssmith.bsky.social. Striking to see aversive pruning altered in people with methamphetamine use, particularly given the results in depression (dx.doi.org/10.1017/S003...).

Our R01 was part of yesterday's "mass termination" at Harvard; 1 of ~1000 NIH grants in Trump's "fight". The irony of how many Jewish (& non-Jewish) researchers/scientists/physicians/patients/students will be harmed in the name of "fighting antisemitism" is sickening.deliberately cruel. #AcademicSky

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and @uclgrandchallenges.bsky.social are spotlighting #UCLMentalHealth funded projects. In this video, we find out more about Prof @jonroiser.bsky.social and Dr Luca Bernardi's research into how political stressors impact an individual's wellbeing.

important analysis of Israel's escalation in Gaza which lays out the motivations very clearly - as ever, it's all about land

so, so excited to share our new theory which endeavours to answer why depression and poor metabolic health go hand-in-hand: "An interoceptive model of energy allostasis linking metabolic and mental health" 💪🧠🔋 @saramehrhof.bsky.social @hugofleming.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

correct

Exercise can be a powerful tool for mental health. But what happens in the brain during a workout? 🏋️ Dr @jonroiser.bsky.social shares insights from his team's pilot study on brain activity during exercise on @wellcometrust.bsky.social’s When Science Finds a Way podcast.

He doesn't mean it this way, but it's fucking ghoulish to attend the funeral of a boy who you helped kill.

When we use TMS to treat depression, we think it alters neural activity in a deep brain structure known as the subgenual anterior cingulate (sgACC). But this is hard to test directly, until our preprint with @coreykeller.bsky.social, @neuro-engineer.bsky.social, Nick Trapp, and Aaron Boes (UIowa) 1/

You know what's more disturbing than starting a trade war with penguins? The very real likelihood that the penguins are going to win.

Despite having been research active in the fMRI field for 20 years and as an editor handling many papers featuring Reho for 10 years, I still don't know what it means (or indeed, is supposed to mean)! The way it's calculated makes it seem like smoothness, but surely that can't be right?
