Stereotypes of age-related gender bias are socially distorted, as evidenced by the age gap in the representations of women and men across various media and algorithms, despite no systematic age differ...

Philosophers are fond of saying that their field boosts critical thinking. Two of them decided to put that claim to the test.

The noradrenergic system plays a diverse role in learning, from optimising learning behaviour to modulating plasticity. Work bridging across micro- and macroscale levels is revealing how noradrenaline achieves this diverse role in learning. Through its balance of targeted versus broad modulation of neurons and non-neuronal astrocytes, the noradrenergic system acts across multiple neurobiological and temporal scales to support adaptive learning. With a multiscale organisation that constrains behaviour and brain dynamics based on value-laden information, and the capacity to bridge the fast neural timescales of milliseconds with the slower timescales of natural behaviour, the noradrenergic system acts as an ‘orchestra conductor’ coordinating learning across scales.

Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.

Grant reviews have been suspended at the NIH. This could be an omen.
