New paper! Propofol anesthesia causes unconsciousness by making your brain more chaotic. It does this *increasing* inhibition, weirdly enough. Work led by @adamjeisen and @Leokoz8 A collaboration between labs in @MIT_Picower @mcgovernmit

Cerebrospinal fluid links the brain and peripheral sensory system and drives headache in migraine with aura! We’re excited to share our newest article just published today in @ScienceMagazine . Please read along:

@PTenigma Thanks Paul. Doing great! I'll be in Rotterdam at the end of July presenting a poster for the Cognitive Science Society.

@ylecun @bneiluj @how_many_roads_ @elonmusk Much in the same way there's absolutely nothing wrong about working for organ trafficking organisations...

@Hackthestack777 @cryptopheresis @Bob366466 @10x_er His name is on the papers. Doesn't mean he actually did any of the work. Or else he wouldn't have time to get into silly twitter feuds.

Technical reports is not science. Science is peer-reviewed. Elon has also published a lot of Tesla user's manuals, so what? Also a boss who doesn't do any science but who makes the researchers put his name on the paper is like a parasite. You cannot be a manager, spend hours on twitter and on TV, and write 80 quality scientific papers in 2 years. No way.

[Alex Castro @Alex_C_Neuro]

@NathanpmYoung Not too mentioned that many of his papers are just preprints. So not even peer reviewed. Also that amount of papers is impossible. Clearly used slave labour or paper mills.

[Alex Castro @Alex_C_Neuro]

@pmddomingos Judging by the content of this tweet it is quite evident that (self) consciousness does not exist...

[Alex Castro @Alex_C_Neuro]

@4ri4n85 @ylecun @elonmusk @bneiluj @how_many_roads_ And yet he still finds time to have twitter feuds with muskrat

[Alex Castro @Alex_C_Neuro]

@ylecun @elonmusk @bneiluj @how_many_roads_ And how many of those are reproducible? Also did you really write them yourself? Or did you have your students writing them for you before signing it off for publication?

[Alex Castro @Alex_C_Neuro]

@DrJasonTee @ylecun @elonmusk @bneiluj @how_many_roads_ Or the infamous paper mills

[Alex Castro @Alex_C_Neuro]

@pietro_milillo @ylecun @elonmusk @bneiluj @how_many_roads_ You mean, his students did. All he did was sit back, skim through them and put his name on it. Easy life. t least the Muskrat actually tried to get rockets built.... (They're both insufferable blokes though)

@FreeGrrrl @psychgeist52 @MohsenJoshanloo Yes. Or days of the month. Or even the funny 4letter personality tests. Why stop at horoscopes?

[Alex Castro @Alex_C_Neuro]

@electricdisk @sofiaperezgil @MohsenJoshanloo On that token, why waste resources on debunking it? What's next? A Multi-million consortium just to prove that the earth is not flat? Forget the connectome or cancer research. "Scientists" got far more pressing issues, apparently...

[Alex Castro @Alex_C_Neuro]

@MohsenJoshanloo Good to see public funds being out to such great use. We could be developing cures for cancer or further decoding the human connectome or the neurobiological basis of memory. Nah... Better to spend time and resources debunking astrological columns on some random magazine 😂
