"The classic brain-IQ association largely disappeared when socioeconomic status was properly accounted for... children’s brains vary the most with SES, potentially through SES-dependent sleep deprivation and stress" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Neuroscientist here, who has talked about the US losing science ground to other countries:
The biggest problem for generating future cures for brain diseases is the ongoing utter destruction of US basic neuroscience.
It’s not about regulation.
It's hard not to be amazed when an entire mouse brain can be visualized in such stunning detail. 🧠🔬Thanks to the world-class light-sheet microscopy infrastructure at @mind-western.bsky.social, we can explore brain architecture and reveal insights once impossible to see. 👀😍 👇#fluorescencefriday

CannaPiece is recalling some of its Strawberry Stampede cannabis vapes because the actual 981 mg THC content is nearly double the labelled 500 mg amount.

A new study reveals that people using illicit fentanyl consume doses equivalent to nearly 9,000 milligrams of morphine daily. This extreme tolerance explains why standard addiction treatments often fail to manage severe withdrawal symptoms.
The label for the affected product has incorrect cannabinoid values. The label shows that the THC is lower than the actual value.Without knowing the accurate THC level in the product, it could be diff...
Children living in areas with low socioeconomic opportunities have more tired and stressed brains, a new study finds
Previous brain-wide association studies (BWAS) have linked specific environmental and behavioral variables to brain variability. In this work, we mapped 649 variables to children’s brains and compared...
China’s beating the US in neuroscience:
“There is a very real possibility that without significant regulatory reform, if you’re a wealthy American, in 10 years, the only place you’ll be able to get your state-of-the-art cancer care is in Shanghai,” said Max Hodak, former president of Neuralink.
“This is going to be one of the three or four major plot lines of the next decade,” former Neuralink president says.
