Few things are more satisfying than the coding pipeline you’ve been working on for a few days works all the way through.

Super excited by this randomized double-blinded preregistered clinical trial: A network defined by treatment response from invasive stim (DBS) → used to noninvasively modulate the brain (tDCS). This improved motor functions in PD. Thread below 👇 Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics Michael Fox

There are now papers showing that the migration of academic communities from Twitter to other social media sites mostly failed. But they never fully returned to Twitter either. I wonder if we will ever see so many different communities interacting in the same online space again.

Dear friends – today’s the day: Andy’s leaving twitter! It was so much fun to be here and I will miss part of it. However, this platform also changed so much that it is sometimes hard to recognize any longer. Lot’s of momentum at bluesky – moving over there. A last thread 🧵

So, if you are like me, head over there and see that many of the typical early-adopters like Russ Poldrack or Micah G. Allen are already active and thriving. There are also starter-packs of follows to get you off the ground. The interface is much better, lightweight and clear.

For more than a century, scientists thought that Broca's area coordinates the muscle movements required to speak. But new UC San Francisco research from @ChangLabUCSF identifies the key role that the middle precentral gyrus (mPrCG) plays in this process. Jessie R. Liu l8r.it/ua64
