Article Spotlight! 💡 This study develops four fMRI-based brain signatures for self-related, other-related, and general mentalizing across 11 cohorts. These separable patterns generalize across adult, adolescent, and clinical samples. buff.ly/t9BilCI
Article Spotlight!💡 This paper attempts to disentangle how working memory may affect socioeconomic status and educational attainment, and furthermore specific predictors of working memory. A thought-provoking read! buff.ly/6adllaj
