Neurostructural Heterogeneity in Youths With Internalizing Symptoms
Internalizing disorders such as anxiety and depression are common psychiatric disorders that frequently begin in youth and exhibit marked heterogeneit…

Time-evolving controllability of effective connectivity networks during seizure progression
Over one third of the estimated 3 million people with epilepsy in the US are
medication resistant. Responsive neurostimulation from chronically implanted
electrodes provides a promising treatment option and alternative to resective
surgery. However,...

How epidemiologists rushed to model the coronavirus pandemic.
Louis Theroux - America's Most Dangerous Pets
In America's heartlands, Louis looks at private collections of tigers and chimpanzees.
The role of thickness inhomogeneities in hierarchical cortical folding
The morphology of the mammalian brain cortex is highly folded. For long it has been known that specific patterns of folding are necessary for an optimally functioning brain. On the extremes, lissencephaly, a lack of folds in humans, and...
Human cortical expansion involves diversification and specialization of supragranular intratelencephalic-projecting neurons
The neocortex is disproportionately expanded in human compared to mouse, both in its total volume relative to subcortical structures and in the proportion occupied by supragranular layers that selectively make connections within the cortex and other...
Australian officials again refuse to release coronavirus modelling
‘I would like to clarify that we will discuss the modelling and look to make that transparent,’ deputy chief medical officer says
Topol: US Betrays Healthcare Workers in Coronavirus Disaster
Many US healthcare workers started this year already suffering from burnout, but the worst was yet to come.
Machine translation of cortical activity to text with an encoder–decoder framework
Makin and colleagues decode speech from neural signals recorded during a preoperative procedure, using an algorithm inspired by machine translation. For one participant reading from a closed set of 50 sentences, decoding accuracy is nearly perfect.
'We are now flattening the curve': Experts hopeful Australia is turning a corner
The daily growth rate of coronavirus cases in Australia falls significantly, leading the Health Minister to declare the curve is starting to flatten.

Promising signs. Hopefully not a brief dip due to fewer o/s arrivals. Will need to see what happens with community transmission in next 2-3 weeks

Phenotypically independent mental health symptom profiles are genetically related
Importance: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and family-based studies have revealed partly overlapping genetic architectures between various psychiatric disorders. Given clinical overlap between disorders our knowledge of the genetic...
