(1/12) Our brain network study of religious fundamentalism is out in PNAS. We identified brain networks associated with religious fundamentalism and found shared neuroanatomy with lesions linked to confabulation and criminal behavior: https://t.co/VBdA8febRi

Two cells feeling each other. This is the kind of dynamic, energetic process that goes on inside our bodies every moment. Once we realize our energetic, communicative nature, our dependence on social connections with other beings comes as no surprise. https://t.co/dzlM4F5UTK

fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.” In our @NatureNeuro paper, we show that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes. https://t.co/QlhkRroXhU funding @ERC_Research 🧵:

Electron microscopy is @nature's Method of the Year! 🧠🔬🏆 @naturemethods shares why MICrONS and FlyWire are proof that #ElectronMicroscopy is helping us gain a deeper understanding of the brain and its incredible complexity: https://t.co/ulrxfdJKxJ #studyBRAIN

you put cells in a dish and energize then, they naturally connect. Either physically by growing protrusions. Or through secreted signals—cytokines, metabolites.

Fascinating @ScienceMagazine article on magnetosensing and its unexpected ties to mechanobiology. A pigeon’s semicircular canal in their ears, long regarded as a fluid-filled labyrinth that acts as a kind of gyroscope for orientation (much like our own) - is receptive to weak

this causes me great excitement. zeldaheads, show yourselves! 🔼🔼🔼 https://t.co/yvaZBsHweM

Biology is so dynamic and explorative. The main actor here is a neuron, likely looking for a meaningful connection(s). Other cells on the right are likely fibroblasts actively dividing and migrating. https://t.co/DfYTHYrEwr

The Language Trap, as proven by MRI: people don't get math because they process math statements like standard linguistic expressions, while mathematicians recruit non-verbal regions of their brains.⤵️
