Neurocomputational mechanisms underlying the distinct motivational influences of reward and punishment on cognitive control
Human motivation is fundamentally shaped by one's expectations of the reward they could earn for good performance or the punishment they would avoid for poor performance. However, the extent to which ...

Recently I (& @richardfbetzel.bsky.social et al.) asked how much does functional connectivity change (i.e., reconfigure) between rest and narrative movie-watching in young and older adults? And does that relate to how well people understood those narratives? Answers here: doi.org/10.1093/cerc...
Functional reconfiguration between rest and movie watching relates to theory-of-mind performance among young and older adults

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
