Neuropsychiatric MRI brain signatures fail reproducibility test

Small neuroimaging studies are unlikely to capture consistent anatomical changes related to conditions such as autism, schizophrenia and mood disorders, according to a new “wake-up call” study.

What are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...

🧠‼️ Socioeconomic variables show the strongest associations with the brain out of 649 measures—surpassing cognition and mental health. Grateful for the chance to write a perspective with @ted-satterthwaite.bsky.social about @smarek0502.bsky.social and team's important findings! tinyurl.com/bdhk6bc8

Childhood environments shape the brain

Socioeconomic factors top the list of influences on children’s brain structure and function

What matters most for childhood brain organization? We analyzed 649 variables. The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers. Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES. In Science today: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The Trump admin is poised to revive a proposal that has been floated several times — most recently in 2017 — to cap the number of grants an investigator can receive Some see in the promise, others aren't sure now is the moment given ... everything going on www.statnews.com/2026/06/11/n...

Scientists see promise in NIH proposal to cap number of grants they receive

Without easy access to leaders within a field or top-of-the-line lab equipment, principal investigators outside top universities often struggle to compete for grants from the NIH.

Do you censor high motion frames in fMRI? In two preprints by @twktan.bsky.social @mandymejia.bsky.social, we find that we may be censoring too much! doi.org/10.64898/202... arxiv.org/html/2603.07... Strict censoring leads to worse personalized TMS targets than no censoring, even with high motion!
