La Gaia<p>Nunca veo a nadie hablar de estos temas en fedi así que voy yo: el lunes que viene a las 18 hora peninsular hay un seminario de la doctora Schmitter-Edgecombe, ofrecido por la International Neuropsychological Society, sobre evaluación de capacidades funcionales diarias centrado en demencias.

We're just migrated from another instance, so here is our (re)introduction:
Neurofrontiers is a bilingual blog about interesting neuroscience topics that tries to be accessible to the broader public while still maintaining scientific accuracy. It's run by a team of two people: a computational neuroscientist, and a graphic designer. We think that being on social media allows us to stay up-to-date with the most recent discussions in science and hope to be able to connect with like-minded individuals.

#FinishedReading #BrianButterworth on the #neuropsychology of numeracy (other aspects of the 'mathematical brain', like reasoning and spatial skills, are not the focus), with forays into zoology, anthropology, maths history, and #mathEd . If you can forgive the occasionally repetitive prose this is a goldmine of fascinating insight, particularly on how patients with localized brain damage reveal the sometimes surprising structure of the number systems in our minds. #Bookstodon @bookstodon

Upcoming panel:
Clinician-Neuroethicist Career/Funding Roundtable
Tues Nov. 19, 8:10p Eastern
Please join us for a virtual panel with Dr. Brent Kious ( #psychiatry Univ. of Utah), Dr. Eran Klein ( #neurology OHSU & UW), and Dr. Cynthia Kubu ( #neuropsychology Cleveland Clinic & Case Western), who will reflect on their experiences in combining clinical work with ethics research and inquiry.

I'm sure that in US political analysis, the reason why 'weird' hurts conservatives more than liberals has been processed a million times.
However, for me it really dawned with the incident of Tim Walz's kid being called 'weird' for showing strong emotion toward his father in public. With it I'd like to bring to attention some good neuroscience research that began in the 2010's:
The relationship between #conservatism and sensitivity to #fear.

Question for #neuropsychology experts: is there a taste equivalent to aphantasia? Like, are people better or worse at imagining *flavors* (especially flavors of novel combinations of foods)? Are chefs generally better at this than the general population? Does anyone know anything about this? Seems like it'd make a fun PhD if it hasn't been done!
Clinical Integration of Neuropsychological Test Results by 2024
The interpretation of neuropsychological tests is a complex process which requires recognition of the multiple skills required to complete even the simplest tests. The purpose of this volume is to explore the various interpretive strategies used with a wide variety of commonly used tests in order to see beyond the skills suggested by the test title.

ScienceAlert · Scientists May Have Finally Figured Out Where Paranoia Lives in The BrainOften dismissed as an irrational or overinflated sense of concern, paranoia extends from a very rational ability to keep our wits about us in a chaotic environment.
In a groundbreaking study from 2017, Chatard et al found social comparison to be subliminal.
In the study women were shown images of thin women or heavy women at sub-conscious threshold viewing times of less than 20 milliseconds.
Even when they consciously didn’t register seeing them and weren’t able to make the comparison, the study found feeling good or bad about their bodies still consistently affected.
Continued thread
A decade ago, 700 fewer people here were being killed by drugs each year. And when fatalities began to rise from the synthetic #opioid #fentanyl, so potent that even minuscule doses are deadly, #Baltimore’s initial response was hailed as a national model. The city set ambitious goals, distributed #Narcan widely, experimented w/ways to steer people into treatment & ratcheted up campaigns to alert the public.
