If ever evidence were needed that Trump sending troops into cities eg Chicago is NOT about #crime but creating fear as they do with #ICE
Govt own stats show crime's at a low since Trumps last Presidency
#KansasCity has TRIPLE violent crime rate >1500/100k - but is in a red state so no troops

Really loving what @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is doing. Apparently the only way the right recognizes the authoritarianism of a leader is when their dear leader is copied - get your yard sign and #MakeRedHatsGreatAgain

Is it just me, or does this feel like yet another movement toward the dystopian future of Gilead, since we are clearly in Gilead beta right now....

Sometimes a simple Google search is your friend.
But if your opinion (not fact) is so set, there's little point talking further is there?
Sadly no Nobel prize because such people have been discussed and documented since the 8th century if not earlier

Importantly, the better performance in people with HIV that were smokers negatively correlated with their TSPO-measured neuroinflammatory levels!
In other words, the lower the neuroinflammation, the better the 5C-CPT performance metrics!

PLHIV exhibited worse cognitive control in the masked 5C-CPT–specifically in non-cigarette smokers (Smok-). Those smoked to satiety prior to testing (Smok+) had comparable levels, via increased hit rate, as in mice in the 5C-CPT (not alpha7 KOs; Higa et al 2017) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28243714/

People living with HIV exhibited elevated neuroinflammation as measured by the PET radioligand [F18]FEPPA – specifically in people that did not smoke cigarettes (Smok-). Those that smoked to satiety prior to testing (Smok+) however, had comparable neuroinflammatory levels.

From working in the 5CSRTT in my PhD, I developed the 5C-CPT in my Post Doc for mice rats & humans (all improved by amphetamine, impacted in psychiatric conditions, with comparable theta EEG power during performance), enabling better testing of cognitive control #RDoC (Young et al 2009)

V happy to get this out!
Working with an amazing group, we showed that people living with #HIV are worse at the 5-choice continuous performance test (5C-CPT-linked to elevated neuroinflammation) but those cigarette smoking had better metrics on both outcomes!
