Bartoli et al. examine the temporal dynamics of the default mode network and show that its activity helps generate original connections between concepts. tinyurl.com/3n49tbxe; tinyurl.com/2dawt379

Every single Israeli who died in Gaza or Lebanon died because Israel refused to commit genocide. Had Israel really "carpet bombed" these places, had Israel indiscriminately killed everyone from the air, not a single Israeli would have been killed after October 7.

Woah. You gotta listen to this. Every. Single. Word. What an incredible speech for Israel at the UN on the anniversary of October 7th.

🚨I am part of the "Nova Festival", the organizers are some of my best mates. Luckily I wasn't there. As I mourn my murdered friends, I will create an *uncensored* thread of Hamas atrocities committed October 7th." I will share stories I know about some of the victims. 🧵

Remembering Shani Louk who ended her short beautiful life among Islamist devils.Taken as a trophy by Hamas’s misogynist death cult to be beaten and spat upon by Gazan civilians. People in London march for this. Never forget. #7/10

A year of sorrow, searing pain, and loss. Oct 7 was a day unlike any the Jewish people have experienced since the darkest days of the Holocaust; a day that unleashed a wave of global anti-semitism; and a day many of us are still living in. Praying for peace and for the hostages.

This is what Hamas did on October 7. They slaughtered as many Jewish civilians as they could get their hands on. This is what the protesters support. xitter.gq/DrewPavlou/status/1843…

⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ Watch if you dare. The full story of October 7th, as was filmed by Hamas-ISIS terrorists along with the Palestinian mob that helped them. A lot of attempts to deny and distort history are taking place, we will not let it happen. The truth will win. Please share. @BrightmindC

Gratified to see this elegant extension of our CONCEPT CELLS to language domain of pronouns. Beautiful demonstration by @DorisDijk et al. of the exceptional abstraction by these cells. On lighter note good to see Shrek cell (as we saw at @UCLANsgy) in hippocampus across Atlantic

I am very happy that the paper about hippocampal responses elicited by pronouns that refer to concepts came out this week! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
