Science relies on integrity and trustworthiness. But scientists under career pressure
are lured to purchase fake publications from ‘paper mills’ that use AI-generated data,
text and image fabrication....

1/ To explore or to exploit? I’m excited to share my new preprint with @tobiasuhauser.bsky.social and @micahgallen.com, correlating variations in cortical microstructures with individual differences in exploration-exploitation behaviours, using a gamified task! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Yesterday, my heart was filled with hope as all live Israeli hostages returned home. Yesterday was also the funeral of Roee Shalev, Nova survivor suffering from PTSD who committed suicide this week. The trauma suffered on both sides is tremendous and there is much work ahead for this to be healed.🙏

Tomorrow will be two years since the attack which began this terrible war. I have lived through several wars, but this one has changed me. I don't believe in an interventionist God, but I am not above praying for peace.... Hostages back home, this war can be over. Amen 🙏

Our World Psychiatry paper is out! we studied responses to trauma experienced under different psychoactive substances and found distinct patterns across substances. Immense gratitude to our collaborators and above all, to the survivors❤️🩹

This is a fascinating article. Well-researched. And while it doesn't interrogate the reasons why the FDA knocked back the MDMA application at least it reasonably accepts the rejection was based on problems with the science and not solely the result of a tiny "activist" group.

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans.
Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

The situation in Israel is not good. A crazy government extending a terrible war to retain power while reducing freedoms. Despite the violence against protestors we will continue to stop the war, return the hostages and seek peace.

This week I came for my last day at the university before setting off for a 1 year sabbatical at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. The amazing students in my lab surprised me with a goodbye party. So lucky to be working with such talented and kind people! Thanks salomonlab.org

Motor prediction reduces beta-band power and enhances cerebellar-somatosensory connectivity before self-touch to enable its attenuation
Prevailing theories suggest that the brain uses an internal forward model to predict tactile input during voluntary movements, thereby reducing the intensity of the reafferent tactile sensation, a phe...

We all know that something is deeply broken in the publishing system, but this is amazing to see the scope of the problem... Well done to all the authors!
Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community.
