Anyone have advice on how to avoid getting sick when teaching 100 person classes? I’m getting a cold after every exam.

If you use the Monetary Incentive Delay task or any task with complex events in fMRI, you should read this. We demonstrate that common modeling approaches can result in bias due to omitted variables. By @jeanette-mumford.bsky.social & the ABCD task fMRI team. direct.mit.edu/imag/article...

The first study to demonstrate an accumulated effect of pollution in the #hippocampus and related cognition from #prenatal to #adolescent exposure and opportunities for remediation! Changing questions on who is vulnerable and what periods matter!

When the wildfires clouded the skies I was home with my newborn watching teens walk to school and I wondered why they weren’t a vulnerable population and wanted to understand if the effects would accumulate in the brains of children over early development.

Huge congratulations to lab manager @maevehoff.bsky.social on her first-author paper!! Thank you Luzma, @victor-pokorny.bsky.social, @tfwilliams.bsky.social, and CAPR collaborators: Baseline Social Functioning Associated With Increased Likelihood of Remission in a CHR Sample doi.org/10.1093/schi...

It’s grad school application season, and I wanted to give some public advice. Caveats: -*-*-*-*

Hearing distressing voices can be devastating. A new German trial found rTMS modestly reduced auditory hallucinations compared to sham treatment. Psychiatrist Iris Sommer shares her reflections on what this means for treatment and for hope. 🧵 THREAD #Psychosis #Neurostimulation #rTMS

The two main hubs in the brain for the processing of human time perception have been identified: SMA and Insula. Here Alice Teghil from Sapienza Università di Roma and I provide the conceptual background in our review on 'How the body and brain process time'. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Out now in @nathumbehav.nature.com! We applied graph theoretic analyses to fMRI data of participants watching movies/listening to stories. Integration across large-scale functional networks mediates arousal-dependent enhancement of narrative memories. Open access link: rdcu.be/eKKAw

Data from a large, ongoing study of adolescents shows a link between increasing social media use and lower cognition and memory in teens.

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Is there any body that has some sort of contraband ABCD Study data dictionary for the 5.1 release?

At least 10 principal researchers at NIH have been fired, including Richard Youle, winner of the Breakthrough Prize for his groundbreaking research identifying mechanisms behind Parkinson’s disease. Is this making America great? www.wired.com/story/doctor...
