As an editor for many years, I still believe in the importance of peer review, especially in journals closely linked to specific scientific communities/societies. It's not a guarantee of course.
It's like if you weed your garden regularly. Will you still have weeds? Yes. Does it help? Also yes.

I asked nano banana in Gemini 3.0 to make a diagram explaining two-sample MR with an arrow indicating pleiotropy. This is what it came up with. Not great - and what on earth is "pleizorotty"?

Why does your brain shrink in Parkinsonβs? Word shrink in this case refers to measurable loss of brain tissue (atrophy), which reflects thinning of cortex/loss of volume in key brain regions. New paper shows widespread atrophy following brainβs wiring diagram and local biological vulnerabilities.

Jonny Smallwood @themindwanders.bsky.social was a beloved friend and mentor. He was taken from us too soon. His was a beautiful mind who understood the beauty of minds. As ever before, his kind voice guides me and his work will continue. We miss you Jonny. www.cbs.mpg.de/news/obituar...

Multiplex immunofluorescence of AΞ² species
π¨New in Lancet Neurology: Autopsy study of aducanumab in #Alzheimerβs shows superficial cortical AΞ² cleared, but deeper persists. ARIA showed inflammation+ microinfarcts in leptomeningeal/penetrating vessels. Some path is PET-invisible. @drneurochic.bsky.social

Your Genes Are Simply Not Enough to Explain How Smart You Are
Seven years ago, I took a bet with Charles Murray about whether weβd basically understand the genetics of intelligence by now.
In 2018, Charles Murray challenged me to a bet: "We will understand IQ geneticallyβI think most of the picture will have been filled in by 2025βthere will still be blanksβbut weβll know basically whatβs going on." It's now 2025, and I claim a win. I write about it in The Atlantic.

This important new study in Movement Disorders looked at folks w/ REM sleep behavior disorder, a common early sign of Parkinsonβs. The results suggest that fMRI may reveal changes in brain networks long before symptoms of PD or dementia w/ Lewy bodies fully emerge. @parkinsondotorg.bsky.social
