Thank you. I just knew someone was trying to besmirch him and make others question his character. Please keep calling out these lies.

So, the Trump admin was able to bring astronauts stuck in space back down to earth, but it won’t lift a finger to bring a Maryland dad they “oopsie” imprisoned in a gulag back from El Salvador?

Do I have that just about right?

US Abortion Bans and Infant Mortality This population-based, cross-sectional study investigates the infant mortality rate following the adoption of complete or 6-week abortion bans in a number of US states.

Abortion bans in the US led to higher-than-expected infant mortality, especially among non-Hispanic Black infants in southern states.

RFK Jr. Sought to Stop Covid Vaccinations 6 Months After Rollout Robert F. Kennedy Jr. petitioned the F.D.A. to revoke authorization of the shots at a time when they were in high demand and considered life-saving.

Six months after Covid vaccines were rolled out in the US, RFK Jr petitioned to have their authorization rescinded. I'm thinking of just how many more preventable deaths might have occurred had his petition succeeded.

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation

I’m nearly 80 and there’s a void in my life that hobbies can’t fill It’s about facing the freedom you have now, not as an overwhelming burden but as an opportunity

Resting-State Functional Connectivity of the Amygdala in Autism: A Preregistered Large-Scale Study | American Journal of Psychiatry Objective: Three leading neurobiological hypotheses about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) propose underconnectivity between brain regions, atypical function of the amygdala, and generally higher variability between individuals with ASD than between neurotypical individuals. Past work has often failed to generalize, because of small sample sizes, unquantified data quality, and analytic flexibility. This study addressed these limitations while testing the above three hypotheses, applied to amygdala functional connectivity. Methods: In a comprehensive preregistered study, the three hypotheses were tested in a subset (N=488 after exclusions; N=212 with ASD) of the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange data sets. The authors analyzed resting-state functional connectivity (FC) from functional MRI data from two anatomically defined amygdala subdivisions, in three hypotheses with respect to magnitude, pattern similarity, and variability, across different anatomical scales ranging from whole brain to specific regions and networks. Results: A Bayesian approach to hypothesis evaluation produced inconsistent evidence in ASD for atypical amygdala FC magnitude, strong evidence that the multivariate pattern of FC was typical, and no consistent evidence of increased interindividual variability in FC. The results strongly depended on analytic choices, including preprocessing pipeline for the neuroimaging data, anatomical specificity, and subject exclusions. Conclusions: A preregistered set of analyses found no reliable evidence for atypical functional connectivity of the amygdala in autism, contrary to leading hypotheses. Future studies should test an expanded set of hypotheses across multiple processing pipelines, collect deeper data per individual, and include a greater diversity of participants to ensure robust generalizability of findings on amygdala FC in ASD.

This large-scale study found no reliable evidence of atypical amygdala connectivity in autism, challenging existing neurobiological hypotheses.
