An image of Professor Armin Raznahan, Incoming WA Handley Professor of Psychiatry, with a quote from him saying: "Returning to the UK to work and learn with the remarkable community at Oxford is a real privilege. There is such a unique landscape of opportunity across the university and local NHS Trusts to both advance our understanding of the developing human brain and make a difference in the way we care for youth experiencing mental health difficulties."

Maybe it's an average and there are a select few outliers who spend a lot of time chatting up Grok?

It’s not for everyone, but getting into Jiujistu was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Skill development, physical fitness, and 6+ years in and I have made a set of life-long friendships with people from all walks of life. It’s a firewall between me and my existential life crises.

I wish people on the both sides of the political spectrum would realize that the weapons they use to inflict harm on their "opponents" will inevitably be turned on them in the future.

The rise in cancellations that began around 2014 was initially celebrated by the left... as “consequence culture.” Now comes the inevitable role reversal. Vice President JD Vance urged those who saw people celebrating Kirk’s assassination to “call them out,” including by calling “their employer.”

Congratulations to @mictott.bsky.social, Rita Cervera Juanes and @svitlanabach.bsky.social and all co-authors! Really fun collaboration w/labs of @vincentcostaphd.bsky.social and @stephaniehicks.bsky.social to better understand cell type and spatial heterogeneity across amygdala in primate 🧠!

A spatially resolved transcriptomic atlas of the primate amygdala (human, macaque, and baboon) now out in Science Advances (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). The amygdala contains 32 types of neurons with many neuron types specific to particular subdivisions.

Lots of updates from the preprint!
Transcriptomic diversity of amygdalar subdivisions across humans and nonhuman primates
Specialized cell types and links to psychiatric disorders are revealed by genetic mapping of primate amygdala neurons.

My apolgies if we did not specify this clearly enough. Overhead costs can include recruitment, associated staff, additional MRI modalities, other biomarkers, etc. So this does not only reflect the cost of the fMRI scan itself. For example the costs of clinicians to screen, RAs to collect data, etc.
