Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @Reuters

Open access free text available now: Effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation for PTSD. I pulled the most important figure - very large PTSD symptom improvement. Over 30 #VA clinics represented - real world results from real-world people.

I’ve been thinking about this David Foster Wallace quote more and more recently

“The technology is just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it's gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do not love us but want our money. Which is all right. In low doses, right? But if that's the basic main staple of your diet, you're gonna die. In a meaningful way, you're going to die."

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Awesome preprint from @kwanalexc and colleagues -

Structural rewiring in the brain after psilocybin is dependent on what is going on DURING the acute psychedelic experience!

New preprint + thread 🧵

#Psychedelics induce the formation of new synapses, but where do they connect?

Our rabies tracing study reveals that #psilocybin shifts connectivity across specific cortical networks.

I’m compiling a list of mental health treatment tools that have been developed using exclusively computational or in vitro approaches (as far as I can tell). Please add on:
1. Recent closed loop DBS
2. Theta burst TMS
3. Neurofeedback treatments
4. Genesight testing

What else?

This is WILD.

The reason Trump defunded the National Weather Service leading to the deaths of all those girls in the Texas flood is because PROJECT 2025 THOUGHT WEATHER PREDICTION SCIENCE WAS TIED TO EVIDENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

Who is one of the nation��s biggest opponents of the Big, Beautiful Bill?
