I've noticed some things running slower too, but I wasn't sure if my computer was getting older. As for the interface/asthetic, it's pretty terrible in every regard.

The figures in the nature article are worth it. Even my non-nerdy wife thought it was kind of interesting.

It's just very conversational. If you are comfortable with stats and just need a reference it can be obnoxious. I think I went through the first edition in my PhD and it was better than a stats course. But when I want a quick reference

As an MD/PhD I wish all MD researchers read this book. Heck, I wish all neuro researchers read it. If you are already established in in stats and math and your interest is just another math book to casually read or reference, this is

Usually we test against best current treatment and not just always against placebo. If something clearly improves outcomes for a patient, it's unethical to not give them a treatment so that you can test your new intervention against a

Stress increases cortisol and cortisol for a long time wrecks the immune system. There are a lot of other things that effect cortisol levels, but it's at least on very plausible pathway for some getting sick more easily.

It's already an uphill battle to fix misinformation concerning vaccines without calling it political.

Article says this has been done other places already. Has this specifically been campaign ads or does it also involve things that are considered politically motivated messaging? For example, is there danger of vaccination PSAs getting banne

There are all kinds of presentations for seizures. Ones in the frontal lobe are particularly hard to catch based on external presentation. If one is suspected of having seizures they will get a continuously monitored EEG where times associa

Two things: 1. Blood brain barrier and CSF should be separate for all but tiny molecules. It's why CT angiograms are able to visualize distinct vessels. So it is pretty hard to directly interact with this sort of thing in vivo 2. A goo

I wish I could, but in addition to this happening over a decade ago, he changed his lab's focus afterwards. He went into neurotransmitter research in skin since it has some overlapping embryological origins with the brain.

I had a neuroscience professor in undergrad who did a bunch of experiments where the only variables were things like the material of the cage, bedding, feeder, etc. He systematically tested variations in each separately. Outcomes varied in

Asperger's was not reliably diagnosable between healthcare workers trained to diagnose it. In other words, a diagnosis of Asperger's in someone's medical chart was not a reliable way of knowing if they had Asperger's.

It can be helpful to get a diagnosis of autism for kids in public school. Kids end up needing additional one on one time and resources are limited. Those with the biggest problems are the first to be approved for these resources, and a form

Autism can be reliably diagnosed at 2.5 years of age, so we probably aren't looking at a strong cultural bias in in how kids are presenting with autism. These models using data from countries where the healthcare systems provides suppo

I'm not convinced the result is as important here as the methods. Separating language from complex cognition when evaluating individuals is difficult. But many of the people I've met in neuroscience that study language and cogniti

It's important to note that models that use genome wide association analysis have demonstrated extremely high predictive value across large cohorts sharing geography but are very poor when applied on a geographically distinct populatio

The problem was that a diagnosis of Asperger's was unreliable and therefore useless. We definitely need to identify individuals within the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder that can reliably be identified and benefit from specific

Even TND appears to be very regionally specific and may have important differences across development in autism. The most exciting thing are differential findings of density of dendrites vs neuron cell bodies. We haven't looked at tha

Working in a psych unit trying to improve this process is really eye opening. Some key doctors have put in the effort to turn the inpatient floor from weeks of being trapped to identifying these situations where people simply need actual su

I've never subscribed to any only fans so my only exposure is checking out twitch. I assume there's a difference in that movies don't act like they're talking to you as an individual person. Also, parasocial is a fairly

I thought that was weird too but then I realized it was on of the most useful tools for searching stuff online and getting exactly what I wanted.

I know there are some extreme cases reported where antidepressants were associated with seizures, but from what I understand that's extraordinarily rare. I don't just mean it's rare in clinical trials and research. None of th

I'd be curious about what the authors thoughts are on this molecule decreasing the threshold for seizures. I know they reported there were no clearly adverse effects throughout the study, but it's not like they had the mice on con
