2025: A Review of the Year in Neuroscience Enlightening the brain

Just published my review of neuroscience in 2025, on The Spike.

The 10th of these, would you believe?

This year we have foundation models, breakthroughs in using light to understand the brain, a gene therapy, and more

Enjoy!

Nine Practical Guides to Support Your Research in 2026 The Observer has compiled a list of 2025 guides, tutorials, and manuals designed to support psychological scientists as they expand their toolboxes of research practices and methods.

I also want to share some resources that were created for the community based on AMPPS papers. First, there is a new article out in the APS Observer that puts together 9 practical guides for research methods including papers and tutorials www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

How attentional control got too much attention — and how we can rethink latent constructs If attention were a muscle, most of us would swear ours had been skipping leg day. One minute you’re reading an email, the next you’re three tabs deep into a recipe for a croquembouche that looks l…

Is attentional control truly what we think it is? Check out the eye-opening results in the #psynomPBR paper by Alodie Rey-Mermet, Henrik Singmann, and Klaus Oberauer. Post by @brettrmyers.

Adaptive habits: understanding executive function and its development Executive functions (EFs) develop dramatically across childhood and predict important outcomes, including academic achievement. These links are often attributed to individual differences in EF capacities. However, individual difference accounts underemphasize contextual influences on EF. We propose a complementary perspective, the adaptive habits framework, which emphasizes how contextual factors support or hinder EF engagement in children. Contexts that support repeated EF engagement establish habits for engaging EF in similar contexts and in similar ways. Such habits, in turn, reduce the effort associated with engaging EF and thus increase the likelihood of deciding to engage EF in the future. We interpret empirical findings through the lens of adaptive habits, discuss the implications of this framework, and propose novel research approaches and interventions to support EF in children.

Hunger often affects our mood, but is this a conscious or a subconscious process? Using continuous glucose monitoring, we show that differences in mood are driven by hunger ratings, not just glucose. #neuroskyence 🩺

What started as a spinoff project for Madeleine's PhD became one of the most striking indications that glucose levels play an important role in regulating everyday stress responses. This shows the potential of biosensors to evaluate whether metabolism alters stress reactivity #neuroskyence 🩺

I hope to have time soon to write a little thread on this, but for now here's the PsyArXiv link to a new preprint from our lab on the construct validity of probed mind-blanking reports. Chandni Lal will be presenting this work as a poster at the upcoming Psychonomics meeting.

So heart breaking. I still have his paper on my brain "The science of mind wandering: empirically navigating the stream of consciousness". I really wanted to see more of his research work on mw and I really had this thought that he would conquer cancer but...... May his soul rest in peace 🙏🏾
