7/ ... optimal scan time, so we recommend a scan time of at least 30 min. Compared with resting-state whole-brain prediction, the most cost-effective scan time is shorter for task-fMRI and longer for subcortical-to-whole-brain prediction.

I learned 2 things today:
1) 55 yrs before Liechti's study (doi.org/10.1093/ijnp...), LSD trips were cut short at the 4-hr mark w/chlorpromazine, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC....
2) Despite being a 1st gen antipsychotic, chlorpromazine blocks 5-HT2A (hence disrupting LSD's effects).

If I were going to Denver, I totally would consider it (left the country 4 times in the last 6 months, so tryna avoid travel for a bit), though I was thinking about saving it for a far-in-the-future dream keynote with tenure situation. If that time ever comes, it’ll be motivation to get fit haha.

A lot of bad news these days, so I thought I’d share some good news. Last week, in a celebration of 150 people coming from all over the world to Buenos Aires, I married a revolutionary. Also, I got promoted to Assistant Professor. And yes, there were robots.

Could it be the case that attention (and thus attention network) is still impacted during an attention-demanding situation (especially given that the comparison here is drug-free rest, a condition in which people tend to fall asleep)?

Check out this transcranial focused ultrasound study by Greg Fonzo that I had a small part in. Online sonication of the left amygdala attenuated the BOLD response, and 3 weeks of sonication improved depression, anxiety, and PTSD:

Supreme Court Sides With Migrant Trump Administration Wrongly Deported A trial judge had ordered the Trump administration to take steps to return the migrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, from a notorious prison in El Salvador.

The Supreme Court unanimously agrees that Kilmar should be brought home, and that's my future wife in the blue on The New York Times cover!

Lucia is now in DC for a hearing on this case today despite the fact that it has little bearing on her job at a private firm in Austin. If there were any shred of evidence that he really is gang affiliated, she wouldn't be wasting her time with this. #bringkilmarhome 6/7

Just because the VP claims Kilmar's a gang member & the press secretary claims he's now a gang leader involved in human trafficking does not make these claims true. I'll eat my words if new evidence comes out, but for now this just sounds like defamation. #bringkilmarhome 5/7

Kilmar was stopped at a Home Depot where he & 3 others were looking for work. One of them had been previously convicted of MS-13 affiliation, & there was an anonymous accusation that Kilmar too had MS-13 affiliation. Also, Kilmar had a Chicago Bulls hat. #bringkilmarhome 3/7
