Human brain may anticipate looming contagion
Seeing a visibly ill avatar in virtual reality activates a neuroimmune pathway in brain areas related to peripersonal space and prompts an immune response, a small new study suggests.

Noninvasive technologies can map and target human brain with unprecedented precision
But to fully grasp the tools’ potential, we need to better understand how electric and magnetic fields interact with the brain.

Null and Noteworthy: Reexamining registered reports
Out of 92 preregistered studies that resulted in published papers, only 15 had fully adhered to their preregistration details, according to a new analysis.

Thanks to new technologies, neuroscientists have more direct access to the human brain than ever before
Model systems continue to offer us tremendous insight, but it’s time for basic researchers to train their sights on the human brain. If I were starting my career today, I would focus on human neurobiology.

Prenatal exposures; Angelman trial suspension; autistic adult well-being
This month’s issue of the Null and Noteworthy newsletter breaks down some negative results involving prenatal exposures, an experimental treatment for Angelman syndrome, and the role that age at autism diagnosis plays in subsequent outcomes, and more.
