It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field. Previewed by President Donald J. Trump on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of NASA Webb Telescope's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

Peer reviewed work from Wendy Suzuki lab New York University shows that a 13min per day meditation significantly improves focus. (Note: don’t meditate after 8pm or will alter sleep). The key: it’s not about focus; it’s about re-focus. Details in new HLP out now at hubermanlab.com

Many meta-analyses have shown that data from female rodents is not more variable than males. But the estrous cycle impacts #fear and #anxiety, so surely females must be more variable than males on tests of these behaviours? Our new meta-analysis says no! authors.elsevier.com/a/1g6VVY3M3aQKV

Mental illness is a brain disorder? Right? We thought so. Hang on though, our new study JAMA Psychiatry shows that poor body health is a more pronounced manifestation of mental illness than poor brain health. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap… 🧵1/9

Scientific method finally explained.

Really exciting work!

Ever wonder how gut feelings get processed in the brain? Our latest study in Nature Communications found that an ingestible vibrating capsule produced changes in both stomach sensation and gastric-evoked brain activity: nature.com/articles/s4146… (1/12) #interoception #neuroscience

The role of interoception in fear learning is largely unexplored, even though sensations such as a pounding heartbeat or suffocation are commonly associated with trauma. In this review we discuss how interoception influences fear learning and PTSD: focus.psychiatryonline.org/doi/abs/10.117…
