Science is on the ballot this year. ✅ We’re launching Science Votes the Future to help scientists vote, engage, and advocate with confidence. 🗳️🧪 Learn more, explore our resources, and share with others! 👉ScienceVotesTheFuture.org

Large language models (LLMs) trained on outputs from other LLMs/AI can inherit undesirable behaviors, even if they are not directly referenced in the training data shows a recent @nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Function & cytoarchitecture don't overlap ... they're orthogonal. Prefrontal cortex is plastered with chains of functional patches previously mostly known from face processing. Why multi-modal parcellations are wrong ... and other insights hidden by group-averaging of fMRI data. great explainer👇🏻

While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget. NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy... The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%. NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

Good news everyone 🥳 Our (w @vincentab.bsky.social) primer on models as prediction machines (with the marginaleffects package) is finally officially published!> journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Introducing Datapages, a new project from Mika Braginsky and me. Datapages are open-source templates for creating interactive websites that make research datasets easy to find, explore, and reuse. No coding required for the basic setup. babieslearninglanguage.blogspot.com/2026/04/data...

Through March 31, the number of grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health is down by more than half compared with the same period last year, a Post analysis found. There are also fewer grants focused on women’s health, cancer and mental health, the analysis found. https://wapo.st/48dWJWX

At the @aanmember.bsky.social #AANAM this AM? Check out the Contemporary Clinical Issues Plenary Session where “Enhancing Glymphatic Transport via Vasopressin: Implications of Neurodegenerative Disease and Drug Delivery” will be presented by Dr. Eman Hamed, NYUGSoM @childneurosoc.bsky.social PGY-3!

More interested in stroke? Poster 4-8: Medium Vessel Occlusion Thrombectomy Achieves Outcomes Comparable to Large Vessel Occlusion Using an Aspiration-first Approach, will also be presented by NYUGSoM @childneurosoc.bsky.social resident Dr. Lauren Smith at the @aanmember.bsky.social #AANAM:

Near Main Hall F this morning and interested in epilepsy? Check out Poster 10-2: Unmasking Focal Epilepsy in the Emergency Department: A Missed Diagnostic Opportunity, presented by NYUGSoM @childneurosoc.bsky.social resident Dr. Michelle Goodman at the @aanmember.bsky.social #AANAM 11:45Am-12:45PM:

Checking out posters at the #AANAM today? If you’re interested in neurology, epilepsy, neurosurgery, or cognition check out both presentations by NYUGSoM @aanmember.bsky.social @childneurosoc.bsky.social resident and Futures in Neurologic Research Scholarship recipient Dr. Michael Granovetter!

Presenting this study today at #AANAM. If interested in pediatric epilepsy, epilepsy surgery, structural MRI, or plasticity, stop by poster 8-4 in the first poster session! @aanmember.bsky.social @childneurosoc.bsky.social @amepilepsysoc.bsky.social

Excited for my first #AANAM! Come chat at my posters Sunday! P1 8-9am: morphometric differences from typical development after left but not right pediatric resection P2 11:45am-12:45pm: characterization/prediction of functional outcomes after pediatric hemispheric surgery @aanmember.bsky.social

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Saskia L. Frisby, Matthew A. Lambon Ralph, et al: All spectral frequencies of neural activity reveal semantic representation in the human anterior ventral temporal cortex doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

This looks like a significant discovery from Doris Tao's lab: Rapid concerted switching of the neural code in the inferotemporal cortex @nature.com "..our findings indicate that there is a previously unknown mechanism for neural representation:.." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My new paper is out, co-led with Marge Maallo! Using high-resolution T1 MRI from pediatric epilepsy surgery patients, we see differences in morphometrics of the preserved hemisphere relative to controls following LEFT but NOT RIGHT surgery. direct.mit.edu/imag/article... 🧵⬇️ 1/7

Song et al. show that visuospatial impairments after stroke follow distinct anatomo-behavioural patterns across recovery phases. Acute symptoms primarily reflect lateralized attention deficits to frontoparietal damage and interhemispheric disconnections 👉https://buff.ly/7XnwLTm

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Mostly genes. The number of people diagnosed with autism as screening has improved and the definition of autism has been expanded. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Co-first author paper with Tina Liu out now in @commsbio.nature.com Our longitudinal fMRI data of child epilepsy patients with occipitotemporal cortex (OTC) resection show deviations from the expected topography in preserved cortex, demonstrating plasticity. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

As a demonstration of how ranked-choice voting gives voters more say and choices: For the four races that appear on every New Yorker's ballot, there is a total of 123,743,040 possible ways someone could fill out a single ballot! And that doesn't even include down-ballot races.

During the NYC mayor debate segment on education, no one addressed staffing shortages affecting the Early Intervention Program, Committee on Preschool Special Education, & Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. Thousands of children aren't receiving services they need due to wait times

Just joined Bluesky!👋 Looking forward to connecting with new and familiar folks in pediatrics, neurology, epilepsy, autism, cognitive neuroscience/neuroimaging, med and grad ed, and advocacy!

Joining the app to kickoff being back at #AES! If you're interested in functional outcomes of epilepsy surgery, stop by poster #2.440 today where I'll be talking about my latest work with Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance on behavioral & mental health outcomes after pediatric hemispheric surgery.
