For several of my friends, this will be the 1st Christmas after losing a loved one. I'm sure there are some of you in the same boat.
I've been there myself, too many times. It's hard in so many ways to deal with a loss like that, especially when ppl all around you are celebrating. This is for you:

fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.”
In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes.

Cool study in JAMA Psychiatry confirms what many have suspected for a while: PHQ (depression questionnaire) instructions are widely misinterpreted by patients. It is unfortunate that a questionnaire as shitty as PHQ-9 has become so ingrained & ubiquitous

If you are interested in animal cognition, AI-generated animal videos are absolute noise. I will block anyone I think is posting them.
Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.
