Brain differences between sexes get more pronounced from puberty Study could help reveal why some mental health disorders vary between men and women β€” but it's not clear whether the differences are due to sex or gender.

Reading up on precision imaging & struck by these findings of greater hormonal variation - & impact on brain networks - in the sampled man vs woman!

Another nail in the coffin of the 'hormonal/hysterical' woman?!

Photo of a thermometer showing high temperatures (over 80 degrees farenheit and 28 degrees celsius) against a backdrop of blooming white flowers and a blue sky. Overlaid orange text reads: β€˜Turn Up The Heat. Pass AB-432: The Menopause Care Equity Act.’ The image connects rising temperature imagery to advocacy for menopause care legislation.

Turn up the heat with us. We have ONE week to ask @cagovernor Newsom to sign California’s AB-432 Menopause Care Equity Act. Live in California, have 30 seconds, and want to support the bill? Go to tinyurl.com/AB432-suppor... to let @cagovernor Newsom know that women’s health is not an elective.

The intrinsic time tracker: temporal context is embedded in entorhinal and hippocampal functional connectivity patterns - Nature Communications This study shows that hippocampal and entorhinal connectivity patterns drift over time in humans, providing a spontaneous neural signature of elapsed time that follows functional gradients and reveals network-specific contributions to temporal coding.

This week two new #28andMe babies joined the extended family:

When @laurapritschet.bsky.social & Pavel Shapturenka set out to build the 28&Me + 28&He datasets, I don't think any of us could've predicted the spectacularly creative ways the datasets would be used years later. That's the power of open science. πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

With the power of the people behind it, the California legislature just passed the Menopause Care Equity Act. This is history in the makingβ€”finally addressing a health gap that touches millions of women. Now, it’s down to one signature. @governor.ca.gov, the pen is in your hand. πŸ–ŠοΈ

What if NIH had been 40% smaller? Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.
