Extinct Pleistocene carnivores were diurnal and had high metabolic rates:

Even after recovery, relapse is heartbreakingly common in anorexia nervosa. Could the answer lie in the gut’s hidden signals? 🧵

Fascinating article (long read) from the New Yorker about psychosis and psychiatry, and more broadly about identity
Mary was in psychosis for 20 years; after she took immunosuppressants, the symptoms vanished. Her husband said it felt as if he were re-meeting the woman he used to know. “How come I lived all these years of darkness, and she suddenly looks normal to me?”
Mary Had Schizophrenia—Then Suddenly She Didn’t
Some psychiatric patients may actually have treatable autoimmune conditions. But what happens to the newly sane?

New preprint! 🧠
Our mind wanders at rest. By periodically probing ongoing thoughts during resting-state fMRI, we show these thoughts are reflected in brain network dynamics and contribute to pervasive links between functional brain architecture and everyday behavior (1/10).

Pulsed taVNS elicits pupil dilation. However, if sham feels as intense, there is not much left. Based on our comparatively large sample (94 participants, single-blind crossover), we show that a highly variable sham response explains this.
