People with poorer glucose control show faster learning from rewards, in turn linked to higher depression symptoms. This suggests a neurocognitive bridge between metabolic disease and mood: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsgos.2025.100645

So, in my view, handedness is a great example of a trait where the relationship between genotype and phenotype is just inherently probabilistic. What you inherit is a likelihood, but how that plays out depends significantly on chance. (No hidden variables).

This time-lapse captures 17 hours of axonal growth from a chicken dorsal root ganglion explant, visualized through the actin cytoskeleton using live confocal imaging.

Neuropsychological measures tend to predict real world outcomes pretty well, providing clinical value even as we make big strides in biomarker accuracy and availability
1- Can we predict when it may no longer be safe for an older adult to stop driving?
Poor performance on a cognitive battery & progression to MCI/dementia are more predictive of driving cessation than are Alzheimer's biomarkers.
