This week two new #28andMe babies joined the extended family:
⏳ @lapate.bsky.social’s lab uncovered a resting-state connectivity signature that reflects the passage of time. www.nature.com/articles/s41... (2/x)

The intrinsic time tracker: temporal context is embedded in entorhinal and hippocampal functional connectivity patterns - Nature Communications
This study shows that hippocampal and entorhinal connectivity patterns drift over time in humans, providing a spontaneous neural signature of elapsed time that follows functional gradients and reveals network-specific contributions to temporal coding.

So cool to see this out—congratulations!

We found that individuals at risk for anorexia showed greater focus on future consequences in daily decision making, which mediated reduced delay discounting—suggesting that a future-oriented cognitive style may underlie their 'willingness to wait' for rewards:

This work is now out in Cognition & Emotion as part of a fantastic special issue edited by Daniela Palombo and Deborah Talmi (the diagram below, from their Editorial, nicely captures some of Jingyi’s key findings) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Here, Jingyi found that sequences of negative (vs. neutral) events compressed subjectively remembered time, whereas transitions from neutral-to-negative events dilated it—and the strength of this temporal dilation effect tracked with individual differences in mood and anxiety.
