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: -*-*-*-*

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...

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