Disrupting action control with transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation: a step forward for Tourette syndrome
Background While Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterised by the presence of tics, premonitory urges are involved in both triggering them and as a lever to control them. The right insular cortex is kno...

Neuro-behavioral impact of Tourette-related striatal disinhibition in rats
Tourette syndrome has been linked to reduced GABAergic inhibition, so called neural disinhibition, in the dorsal striatum. Dorsal-striatal neural disinhibition in animal models, caused by local microi...

Investigating Neurometabolite Changes in Response to Median Nerve Stimulation
There are no significant differences in the tonic neuromodulatory effects of rhythmic and arrhythmic stimulation. The reduction in glutamate over the course of stimulation may reflect a decrease in g...

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

🚜🌾 vs. 🧐💰
Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land
