New findings highlight risks of prenatal #cannabis use. Neonates exposed to cannabis in utero had significantly smaller total brain volume vs. unexposed peers, even after controlling for maternal stress. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Interested in prenatal cannabis exposure (PCE) and brain development? We have new findings published today, finding associations between PCE and lower total brain volume within the first month of life. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study has released its first data wave - it’s massive.

Check here:

Grant critique: "It is unclear where research on women’s health (broadly speaking) will fall on the funding
priority list in the current federal administration" :(

Concerned about the doctor on “The Rehearsal” diagnosing people with autism, anxiety, etc with fMRI www.newyorker.com/culture/on-t...
The Finale of “The Rehearsal” Is Outlandish and Sublime
The first season of Nathan Fielder’s mind-bending show seemed to exhaust all possibilities for its conceit. But the second is, somehow, even more berserk than the first.
