Bilateral ventral pathways support phonological awareness at reading onset in Spanish-speaking children Abstract. Reading is a fundamental human skill that has been widely studied. While substantial progress has been made in identifying the white matter pathways supporting reading in adults, less is kno...

Phonological processing = left dorsal stream?
Not in Mexican Spanish-speaking children at reading onset.
Here, bilateral ventral — not dorsal— pathways predict phonological awareness.
Neuroscience should broaden the populations it studies to build generalizable brain models.

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

Genetic underpinnings of chills from art and music Author summary Many people experience chills when listening to music, reading poetry, or viewing art. Yet not everyone feels these reactions in the same way. These differences provide a window into ho...

A particular moment in my favourite Radiohead song always gives me goosebumps every time I play it. Turns out susceptibility to such “chills” (induced by music, poetry, art) varies between people & that genetic differences play a part.

Trump administration drops appeal of order blocking $1.2 billion UCLA settlement - Daily Bruin This post was updated Feb. 13 at 10:00 p.m. The Trump administration dropped its appeal of a decision Friday that blocked it from demanding a $1.2 billion settlement from UCLA.

Resist. Trump will keep losing. And his legal battles and Epstein are stretching the DOJ thin.

He has dropped his appeal of the $1.2B demand from UCLA.

This fight was not from tepid administrators or the faculty senate

It was from the DeFacto faculty union and the UAW.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
