Front-loading calories may be the key to better weight loss. In this study, eating most calories at breakfast led to: 📉 2.5x greater weight loss (8.7 vs. 3.6 kg) 💪 Better insulin sensitivity (-57 vs. -33%) 🩸 Lower triglycerides (⬇️ 34%) 🍽 Less hunger, more satiety 1/13 🧵

A BIG STUDY in Nature Medicine: Which food makes you age faster? Scientists looked at 105,000 people in 30 years. The statistics is impressive. The study is open-access, so everyone can read it. 📍 Findings: The diet that ROCKS: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated

Interesting rare variant study from deCODE reporting a new risk gene for bipolar disorder: HECTD2, whose gene product appears to interact with lithium target GSK3β. This is the second interactor of GSK3β to be linked to bipolar disorder (first one is AKAP11). Thorgeirsson et

Excited to share new work on the language system! Using a large fMRI dataset (n=772) we comprehensively search for language-selective regions across the brain. w/Aaron Wright, Ben Lipkin, and Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 Link to the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread below!👇🧵

I sincerely hope that biobanks start considering language and communication as important phenotypes for GWAS. I outline the way forward in the TiGs forum article below. Special thanks to Kári Stefánsson, who introduced me to genetics 10 years ago🫶
