Massive synaptic pruning between birth and adulthood: the nervous system gets simpler with age! Two-decade connectomic effort in Lichtman lab @harvard reveals how the order in which motor neurons activate decides which connections survive. @NatureNeuro 👉 https://t.co/RqDv6Ea3hM
Ding et al. show that different areas of the insular cortex contribute to distinct aspects of neuropathic pain: the posterior insula increases pain sensitivity via a brainstem-spinal cord pathway, while the anterior insula mediates pain-related anxiety. https://t.co/MzDnMNLtJS
Al iniciar el siglo XX, un célebre neuropsiquiatra, Emil Kraepelin, elaboró una clasificación de las psicosis. Postuló dos grandes categorías: la demencia precoz, un trastorno que afectaba el pensamiento y las capacidades cognoscitivas, y la psicosis maniaco-depresiva,

Thrilled to share our paper out today in @CellCellPress! Transcranial magnetic stimulation can effectively treat depression, but how? We uncovered cell type-specific plasticity driving these antidepressant effects 👇

A new network meta-analysis evaluates 22 randomized controlled trials comparing five FDA-approved adjunctive antipsychotics for adults with MDD and inadequate antidepressant response. For the first time, a Bayesian approach establishes a clear hierarchy of efficacy and acceptability, offering actionable insights for treatment selection. Read more https://t.co/WQQmcaDKDG
Somervail et al. show that surprising sensory stimuli - e.g. loud beeps - activate much more of the brain than previously thought, through a long-overlooked pathway called the extralemniscal system. https://t.co/1344QpYfBI

Excellent paper about purposiveness in biology. Important critique of the dynamical systems approach as a "simple" solution to the computationalism approach.
Highly relevant to the enactive approach too.

Our paper is out: By analysing health records from millions of real-world patients from the literature, we can now finally answer the questions about the long-term outcomes of ECT. What we found, consistently, across well-designed studies from the UK, Canada, US, Sweden, Denmark, and Taiwan, is that ECT does not increase the risk for dementia, heart attacks or stroke, and is associated with a significant reduction in overall mortality.

1/5 I respect Diane O'Leary’s critique of the biopsychosocial model, but she makes a striking leap in suggesting that embracing a metaphysical position (property dualism) actually solves the problem of causation in mental illness. Just as clinical researchers need to reflect on
