@theconnectome Saw your Lizard Brain article in Scientific American email = my kind of fun. Looking forward to · · ·.

#JAACAP study reports #depressed - #anxious adolescents exhibited structural and functional alterations in reward-related neural circuitry, which predicted depression symptom persistence over time. @theconnectome @ColumbiaPsych @CU_ChildPsych https://t.co/aF9x2td7c4

Some #cephalopod species are able to directly modify their own proteomes via high-level RNA editing.

@neuroecology Why aren't all dreams lucid by default?

"We conclude that under atropine or scopolamine, functional interactions between cortical areas in the gamma frequency band remain high... This may explain why the animals remain awake in spite of the presence of slow waves and spindles." (WOW!)

Castro-Zaballa et. al. (2019) — fascinating paper on using muscarinic receptor antagonists like #scopolamine and #atropine to dissociate basal forebrain cholinergic regulation of behavioral states: https://t.co/FIB78ozVfU

Philippu (2019) — intriguing paper on EEG rhythmic fluctuations associated with varying release rates of #catecholamines, #GABA, #glutamate and #histamine, generated in #ultradian cycles in the arcuate nucleus: https://t.co/Xk7bUydCgz

See, I already KNOW I'm gonna get in trouble for this one.

What began as a call to action in response to police violence and anti-Black racism in America is now a global initiative to confront racial inequities in society including environmental injustice, bias in academia and the public health threat of racism. https://t.co/vtCvzPHgrV

[City Arts & Lectures @cityartssf]

Coming up, Dr. Carhart-Harris & Dr. Hayes discuss the use of psychedelics for treating mental illnesses & more. Send questions for @RCarhartHarris of @Imperial_PRG & @Mellody_Hayes to [email protected] by Fri 6/26, 5pm!

"[This] shows that global COVID mortality is comparable to the notorious 'false pandemic' of swine flu in 2009 and is an order of magnitude below the flu pandemics of 1957 & 1968. These two were serious, but social life could still go on normally."

The actions in episode 1065 weren't complex: two men took off their shoes and socks, rolled up their pants and then swished their feet together in a shallow pool on a hot day. But Rogers and Clemmons demonstrated that a Black man and a white one could peacefully share the water.

A truly repulsive video. Shocking that more people haven't commented.

@davideagleman I have a very interesting research proposal. Can I DM?
