The Battle over the Constitution Has Spread to American Science. I'm out in the @theatlantic.com today about the new OMB proposed rule.
It's just the longtime agenda of the the Supreme Court. US science and cancer cures now all depend on us picking up a fight with the Roberts Court.
Tremor is highly heterogeneous. Our new study in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social shows that rest and action tremor map to different networks within the motor cortex. By refining DBS contact selection, we can engage these circuits to optimize treatment for both.

Remarkable stability in functional brain networks over time!
Children living in areas with low socioeconomic opportunities have more tired and stressed brains, a new study finds
A new study found that the number one environmental factor influencing brain structure and function is the socioeconomic status of a child's family. www.statnews.com/2026/06/11/s...
Brain scans can predict a child's socioeconomic status better than they can predict the child’s IQ. #neuroskyence

A new Science study suggests variables linked to socioeconomic status—increased stress and reduced sleep—have strong relationships to brain structure and function in children. Brain differences observed are unrelated to genetic ancestry and may not be permanent. https://scim.ag/4opL5PF
A study of more than 2,300 9- to 10-year-olds found that socioeconomic factors explained most differences in the preteens' brain development. n.pr/4xoA70O
Or perhaps a child’s SES better predicts their brain scans than their IQ does.
The Trump administration’s theory of how the federal government should work is a threat to American science.

We've known that socioeconomics (SES) matters for the 🧠. New & 🤯 is that SES drowns out all other brain associations, incl. IQ. If you train an algorithm to predict IQ from brain data, it's still way better at predicting SES. Science Mag: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

How can we acquire new knowledge and skills on a daily basis while remaining the same person?
I'm excited to share our new preprint led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social & Ally Dworetsky tackling this question, just in time for #OHBM2026:

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.
