Psychedelics disrupt the link between vascular and neuronal activity, which complicates interpretations of fMRI data. Adopting a more holistic view of what constitutes brain activity may help.

Thread of French and Dutch research institutes slowly unsubscribing from web of science (and thence impact factors).
Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?
We have extended the deadline on this until June 8 when I'm back from holiday - please pass along to anyone you think would be interested! I've got email with me so drop me a line if you would like more details
We are excited to share our keynote speakers for the 35th Annual IBNS Meeting in Cape Town, South Africa! Join us June 23-27th!
My article on how current and former incels negotiate what 'incel' means to them is out. Spoiler: it's complicated.
'Incel' meant very different things to different individuals, but spending time on forums negatively affected all participants' mental well-being.

This paper has been a long time coming. Instead of reanalyzing the same old resting-state fMRI datasets, we combined nearly all datasets around the world. Note that we didn't exactly find indisputable evidence for "default mode network disintegration."

Excited to share our new paper:
We uncover a locus coeruleus→amygdala circuit linking β-adrenergic signaling to transcription regulation in defined amygdala cells during memory reconsolidation—+ stress or elevated noradrenergic signaling at recall can strengthen memory.
