Action-mode network (AMN) ... the yang to the default-mode network's (DMN) yin: https://t.co/9dzWmjUwAV

[Nico Dosenbach @ndosenbach]

Introducing the Action-Mode Network – AMN. Better late than never! 17 years ago, we clumsily called this the Cingulo-opercular Network (CON) based on its anatomy (we weren’t exactly sure what it does). Now we’ve finally got the evidence to give it the functional name it deserves: the Action-mode Network (AMN). Find our arguments here: https://t.co/z8290fmmVB with the peerless Marc Raichle and the brilliant @gordonneuro. 🧵 ↓

Deep sleep may be one of the brain’s most powerful anti-anxiety tools.
Researchers identified a sleep-active circuit linking the parafacial zone, parabrachial nucleus, and BNST that suppresses stress-related signaling during slow-wave sleep and prevents anxiety-like behavior. #SleepScience #Neuroscience #MentalHealth

The World Parkinson Congress has officially kicked off in Phoenix, and there is a rumor circulating that more than 1,000 free copies of book The Parkinson’s Plan may appear Monday at the Parkinson’s Foundation booth. Ray Dorsey and I will be at the WPC Book Nook from 12–1 PM (on Monday) meeting folks and signing books. I will also be at the Parkinson’s Foundation booth from 11 AM–12 PM and again from 1–2 PM (on Monday). Come by, say hello, and most importantly "Tell your story." You are the secret sauce to creating change.

Acute stress makes it difficult to link memories of past events with fresh information, a study1 suggests. The results help to explain why people struggle to show insight under pressure.

Blood-based biomarkers are transforming the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease - but which test should be used and in which individuals?

Once again, @ten_photos came to the rescue - we prayed to him for a better statistical test for k-shot learning (since the corrected t-test is overly conservative in that scenario), and he answered our prayers with a new test that also covers classical cross-validation.

Network-level inferences for brain lesion mapping

[Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 @ev_fedorenko]

Knowing the anatomical connections in the human🧠 has long been a critical missing piece in building accurate theories of brain function. esfMRI is starting to uncover these connections. Go Rui @ruix_mit and team! I could not be more excited to play a small part in this effort.

[Thomas Yeo @bttyeo]

More suggestions are welcome! We can't promise to act on every one, but we will read them all and incorporate what we can.

New preprint: "Monosynaptic connections link functionally similar regions in human cortex." We use electrical stimulation + fMRI in epilepsy patients to map whole-brain monosynaptic connectivity at 42 cortical sites. https://t.co/rSSSVsMWCQ 1/n

Here's bonus slides on cross-validation tests, separate from our preprint. Covering:

1. paired (sign-flip) permutation test
2. label-swap permutation test
3. sample-level vs fold-averaged stats
4. a common misapplication of the corrected t-test
5. three bootstrap variants 1/N

[Thomas Yeo @bttyeo]

In a meta-analysis of 210 biomedical AI studies that statistically compared models under cross-validation, 97% used invalid statistical tests.
