Your abstract is the part of your paper most people will read. But most abstracts are unreadable. Yours doesn’t have to be. A well-structured abstract gets your paper eyeballs. The best research gets skipped if the abstract sucks.
Early access to the full video version of my conversation with neuroscientist Dr. Gyorgy Buzsaki: "Rhythms, Memory, Time, Place, Representation & the Brain"
Why do individuals with late-stage cancer sometimes struggle with motivation and experience profound apathy? In this multi lab effort @KepecsLab @JanowitzTobias and my lab we are tackling this question 👇🏻 😊 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
1/11 How does our brain's hierarchical organization impact its response to stimulation? We found striking differences between "high-order" networks (involved in complex cognition) vs "low-order" networks (handling sensory/motor functions) @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…
What does the music do to your brain's neurochemistry? New study from Emotion Lab @TurkuPETCentre spearheaded by @Vesa_Putkinen shows how listening to your favourite songs puts the brain's opioids into work: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
🚀 New Paper Alert! 🧠 Excited to share our new perspective paper with @PsychKaiser 📝 “The ConNECT approach: toward a comprehensive understanding of meaningful interpersonal moments in psychotherapy and beyond” 🔗 Read it here: doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.…
This guy scanned monks' brains. He expected normal results. But what he found had never been seen in scientific history. The discovery landed him on Time's 100 Most Influential People. Here's what 30,000+ hours of meditation does to your brain:
Truly impressed by the quality of the poster presentations in our #syncJYU conference! Also happy to see the broad spectrum of topics synchronized to reach better understanding of human (& animal!) #interaction 🧠🫁🫀👀👫🐶🐴 Remember to vote for the best poster! @JKLBrainMind
1/22 Our new paper led by @ashleylwatts (w @ashlgreene & @wesbonifay) is now published; I view it as the first critical evaluation of the statistical and theoretical p-factor & resulting literature. Here a brief overview of the core arguments in the paper.
Check out our new study! "Framing depression as a functional signal, not a disease: Rationale and initial randomized controlled trial" We found a strengths-based framing of depression is better than a disease framing on hope & stigma. 🧵1/5 authors.elsevier.com/c/1hD9z-CmUzf60
Systematic review of 10 #esketamine RCTs for #depression finds that ~40% of adverse events are omitted from publications—nearly all of those events (94%) happened to participants in the esketamine (not placebo) arm. Overall reporting quality 'poor'. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Mental illness is a brain disorder? Right? We thought so. Hang on though, our new study @JAMAPsych shows that poor body health is a more pronounced manifestation of mental illness than poor brain health. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap… 🧵1/9
New #depression #psiloybin has 2 severe issues. (1) They don't adhere to their protocol registered on clinicaltrials.gov & report primary outcomes at week 2, when week 4 was registered. I'm so frustrated that scientists (but also reviewers & editors) don't do their job.
The fundamental script of school: "you will do well if you get good at doing things you don't want to do and be disciplined in doing those things" Love this reflection from @david_perell What would an Alien think of this? Full video: youtu.be/aIWDvuJhVm8
Aivotutkimusblogissa on uusi kirjoitus muistin engrammeista! Alexei Kramm kirjoitti ohjauksessani kandityönsä ja kun kirjoitti niin hyvin ja selkeästi, niin pyysin blogikirjoituksen. Luettuasi ymmärrät paremmin miten muisti toimii. @sats_brsf @helsinkiuni blogs.helsinki.fi/aivotutkimus/
A Single Dose of Psilocybin for Treatment-Resistant Depression... A brand new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests a single dose of 25mg psilocybin can significantly improve the symptoms of depression for at least 12 weeks...
In the paper, I describe 2 barriers to progress that our field has not sufficiently grappled with. Barrier (1): diagnostic literalism, i.e. mistaking mental health (MH) problems a person has with the diagnosis a person receives. In short: MH problems ≠ diagnoses.
Is the psychedelic hype bubble about to burst? Might that be best for the field? In a new @JAMAPsych article w/ me, @jpotash1, & R. Griffiths, we argue for moving beyond overly negative AND positive extremes to embrace the actual evidence @JHPsychedelics jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…
So I got a chance to play around with #midjourney. Happy with what turned out! Fascinating stuff, @midjourney, really makes you ponder on the nature of art
(1/11) Finally got round to reading this best-selling psychiatry book from 1983. A thread: "Psychiatry now recognises that the serious mental illnesses are *diseases* in the same sense as cancer or high blood pressure..[people] suffer from a *sick or broken brain.*"
