Fascinating, and indeed perfect example of what precision biological psychiatry can achieve! Congrats.
Btw small question: you mention MB-ME fMRI with 4 echoes, but you report 5 TEs?

Federal Agency Dedicated to Mental Illness and Addiction Faces Huge Cuts The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has already closed offices and could see staff numbers reduced by 50 percent.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration works on two of the most urgent U.S. health problems and has generally received bipartisan support. By the end of this week, the staff of the agency could be cut by 50%, according to senior staff members.

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness

This is like the climate crisis: we've accumulated loads of evidence that the ecosystem we created is unsustainable and has detrimental effects, but we keep not acting on it...

We've been paying over 8$ billion in APCs to 6 main publishers. This is simply outrageous and unsustainable.

The Strain on Scientific Publishing - Response to: โ€œBad bibliometrics donโ€™t add up for research or why research publishing policy needs sound scienceโ€ Home page for the paper โ€˜The Strain on Scientific Publishingโ€™ by Mark A Hanson, Dan Brockington, Paolo Crosetto and Pablo Gomez Barreiro

We were surprised by a recent #Frontiers blog. They make derogatory statements, accuse us of data manipulation & mischaracterize our comms with them. ๐Ÿ˜”

Critiques of our work are welcome. Falsehoods about us and our work are not. Here we set the record straight. 1/7 #SciPub #AcademicSky #PeerReview

Very interesting and informative study with "null results". And also the first time I see a neuroscience paper where the first and only author is a consortium, rather than an individual. Best way to reinforce team work.

Very amusing to see how Frontiers phrase their request to review manuscripts as an "Opportunity to review a new Original Research Article". Wow, such an honor, I feel humbled :-)!

Thanks for the graph ;-). I was looking for exactly this the other day for a presentation and was surprised nobody had made it! I'll add it and cite you!

Would it be this one? open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu
But seems only accessible to ERC-funded researchers ?

New proposal from cOAlition S on OA publishing:
1. Authors, not third-party suppliers, decide when and what to publish
2. The scholarly record includes the full range of outputs created during the research cycle
Amen to this!

Ever been confused how to relate 3 variables (like Age, Brain and Cognition) via linear statistical models? See this gentle primer (with @rogierk.bsky.social) for structural equation modelling, including concepts like mediation, moderation and measurement invariance: github.com/MRC-CBU/misc...
