👀 New @nature.com paper from Chenyu Yue, Na Wang & co identifies adenosine signaling in mPFC as a shared underlying mechanism of action in both ketamine and ECT, and thus a potential therapeutic target for depression. Super interesting read! 🐁 ⚡️

So many things to be concerned about. Here’s one more!

Is neural synchrony a dev. mechanism? How do we know? One methods insight - we should be cautious about interpreting brain synchrony w/o behavioral context. Our 2nd speaker, IM Haresign, wrote a great paper on this w/ E. Phillips & @profsamwass.bsky.social - learn more Sat @ 3! #flux2025 🧠⚡️🧠

I’ve wondered how we meaningfully interpret brain synchrony findings across regions in humans (eg motor v PFC).
Going much deeper - @honglab.bsky.social will share how GABA- v glutamatergic neurons sync up - distinctly! - across two interacting mice - learn more 3pm Sat at #flux2025

UPDATE: The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, and she has scheduled a hearing for 2 p.m. Friday to address D.C.’s TRO request. www.lawdork.com/p/dc-officia...
BREAKING: D.C. sued the Trump administration on Friday morning, asserting that the admin was violating the Home Rule Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and separation of powers. D.C. A.G. Brian Schwalb is seeking a temporary restraining order to block A.G. Pam Bondi from enforcing her order.

Hundreds of groups push back on Trump denying lawful immigrants access to Head Start, other programs
They oppose the administration’s decision to make more federally funded programs off limits to legally present immigrants and say it will be 'devastating' to U.S. citizen children.

Once again, the imperial presidency, created by both parties during the Cold War, by passing laws allowing the POTUS to act like a king simply by using the magic words “national security” or “national emergency” w/o evidence, was a grave mistake, & if we make it through this, it must be dismantled.
