Your Brain Age is less about mechanical ticks & more about entropic lifestyle & environment. In our @NatureMedicine, brain clocks speed up due to dementia, exposome (economic inequality, pollution), gender-health disparities, & regional factors👉 https://t.co/KOQqYD2w8r

I’m grateful for the opportunity to support Moldova in increasing access to assistive technology and promoting inclusive education. I look forward to the next steps of this fantastic journey!

🇲🇩Moldova exemplifies inclusion of children with #disabilities, but more efforts are needed. This week, we hosted a workshop on #assistivetechnologies for #educationalinclusion, led by experts @EJHoogerwerf and @lo_desi. #EU4Moldova #Education4All

"In 1996 NIMH began shifting its [..] resources from clinical studies to basic research based on the promise of the Human Genome Project. 3 decades later [..] investment has yielded almost nothing clinically useful [we should] review NIMH`s schizophrenia research portfolio."

Can tech revolutionise remote support?

In this case study from #JET, read how researchers used a remote-controlled humanoid #robot to help those with #disabilities set a lunch table. Read the results here: https://t.co/NRTxvugHyg @lo_desi

The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the array of neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state.

A special issue of Science unpacks this key brain region’s impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. https://t.co/TRJltFWmTF

Del Bologna di Motta, che senza avere i migliori giocatori della Serie A gioca a calcio come in Serie A giocano in pochi, ho già detto e ripetuto che senza almeno tre scempi arbitrali perpetrati ai suoi danni (su tutti il rigore non concesso contro la Juventus sull'1-0, rigore che avrebbe chiuso la partita) avrebbe 6 punti in più e sarebbe oggi terzo in classifica subito dopo Inter e Milan. Oggi la squadra rossoblu ci ha regalato la gemma del gol del 2-2 di Zirkzee: quando si dice un'azione che vale il prezzo del biglietto. Splendidamente lanciato da Ferguson con un'apertura no-look, il centravanti del Bologna si è fatto beffe dei tre difensori dell'Inter Bastoni, Pavard e Acerbi, ha conservato il possesso della palla , ha finto il tiro il tiro, è ritornato sui suoi passi fino a trovare, sfruttandolo, il varco e il momento giusto per calciare a rete di destro pugnalando Sommer. Pezzo di bravura assoluto, un gol da raccontare ai nipoti. Complimenti a Zirkzee. Complimenti a Motta. E complimenti al Bologna, che se il calcio italiano non fosse la pagliacciata che tutti sappiamo, oggi sarebbe - meritatamente - in zona Champions League.

For nine months with @Balkanizator & @LudekStavinoha, we dug into the network of interests around the EU regulation to fight children sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. Why should everybody be interested, including our old aunts and uncles? Follow the thread 👉👉

Read my view on why Adult #ADHD is such a dangerous current fad & steps in differential diagnosis to avoid its harms. It took me 90 minutes to write.

Then compare with the CHAT-GPT response that took just 1 second.
Mine is better- but not by that much.
