Typically, surgeons lesioned (damaged) a structure or a pathway in the hope that this would “correct the imbalance” that led to the disease. Candidate structures for lesioning were usually found by trial and error, serendipity or experiments in animals.</p><p>While performing one such surgery in 1987, French neurosurgeon Alim-Louis Benabid noticed that the electrical stimulation he performed to locate the right spot to lesion had effects similar to the lesion itself. This discovery led to a new treatment: deep brain stimulation. It involved a pacemaker delivering electrical pulses via electrodes implanted in specific spots in the brain.</p><p>This treatment has been used to treat advanced Parkinson’s since the early 2000s. However, until today, the stimulator settings had to remain constant once they were set by a specialised doctor or nurse and could only be changed when the patient was next seen in the clinic.</p><p>Accordingly, most researchers and doctors thought of stimulation as merely an adjustable and reversible way of lesioning. But these days the field is undergoing a revolution that challenges this view.</p><p>Adaptive deep brain stimulation was approved earlier this year by the US and European health authorities. It involves a computer interpreting brain activity and deciding whether to adjust the stimulation amplitude up or down to achieve the best relief of a patient’s symptoms.</p><p>Parkinson’s is a complex disorder with fluctuating symptoms that are greatly affected by the drugs a patient takes several times a day. While for some patients constant stimulation does a good job controlling their symptoms, for others it is too strong some of the time and overly weak at other times.</p><p>Ideally, the treatment should only kick in when it is most helpful.</p><p>The discovery that made adaptive stimulation possible was made by scientists at University College London over two decades ago, around the time when the first patients with Parkinson’s started getting electrodes implanted in the UK National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.</p><p>When recording deep brain activity from these electrodes shortly after the surgery, the scientists noticed that a particular kind of brain wave appeared when a patient stopped their medication and their symptoms worsened.</p><p>The waves went away when the patients took their medication and started feeling better. It took a decade of further research before the same team of scientists first attempted to use the brain waves to control stimulation.</p><p>The idea is akin to a thermostat controlling an air conditioner. When the waves (temperature) reach a certain threshold, an electronic control circuit turns the stimulator (airconditioner) on. This reduces the waves and when they go away the stimulation can be turned off for a while until the waves re-emerge.</p><p>The original setup was bulky and could only be used in the hospital, and it took another decade to make it fit inside a device smaller than a matchbox that could be implanted in a patient’s chest.</p><p>New challenges</p><p>While the option to make brain stimulation adaptive gives new tools to doctors and nurses to fit stimulation to a patient in the best possible way, it comes with new challenges.</p><p>Even with the original fixed settings, there are many parameters doctors have to set to ensure effective treatment with minimal side-effects. Making stimulation adaptive adds another layer of complexity and puts extra demand on a clinical team’s time and attention.</p><p>In the case of Parkinson’s, stimulation effects are almost immediate so it is relatively easy to see how well particular constant settings work. But an adaptive setting must be tested over at least a few days to see how well it copes with the patient’s daily routine and medication cycles.</p><p>Adaptive stimulators also come with sensing abilities. They can record the harmful brain wave levels over days and weeks so that the clinical team can review them and see how well they are controlled.</p><p>These possibilities are new in the treatment of Parkinson’s, although similar implanted devices have been in use for years by cardiologists and epileptologists (neurologists who specialise in epilepsy).</p><p>Studying brain waves recorded by the smart stimulators in Parkinson’s patients opens new doors for understanding other diseases. Many patients suffer from problems such as depression and cognitive decline. Researchers could search for features in their brain signals that track the severity of these symptoms using AI tools to find relations too subtle or too complex for a human observer.</p><p>A parallel branch of deep brain stimulation research is focused on precisely mapping out the brain circuits responsible for different neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Several recent studies reported successes in treating depression, OCD and severe headaches.</p><p>Stimulating in the right place at the right time considering what the patient is doing is where the field is heading. With the basic technology now in place, progress could be rapid.</p><p> </p><p>This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

The research found that these early experiences are not only linked to a child’s outcomes, but also shape the environment in which a child is raised—by affecting socioeconomic status, maternal mental health, relationship conflict, and caregiving behavior.</p><p>Researchers undertook this study to better understand how adversity experienced during a mother’s early years can ripple forward into the next generation. While previous studies have found that childhood adversity is associated with a range of negative outcomes in adulthood, much less is known about how these effects play out in parenting and early child development. The study aimed to test an intergenerational model of risk by examining both direct and indirect pathways from maternal childhood adversity to child outcomes during the preschool years.</p><p>The researchers followed 501 families from the time children were 2 months old until they reached 5 years of age. Participants were recruited in the Toronto area between 2006 and 2008. Mothers reported on their own adverse childhood experiences (including physical and sexual abuse, household substance use, mental illness, parental separation, and exposure to violence), as well as their current socioeconomic conditions, relationship conflict, and symptoms of depression. Fathers contributed information on their own childhood conduct problems, and trained observers assessed parenting behaviors. Children’s emotional and behavioral issues were rated by both parents, and cognitive abilities were measured through standardized testing.</p><p>The results showed that a mother’s history of childhood adversity was linked to her child’s emotional and behavioral problems, as well as cognitive performance. However, these associations were not straightforward. Instead, the effects were often indirect, operating through a network of interconnected family and contextual factors.</p><p>For example, mothers who had experienced more adversity in childhood were more likely to live in lower socioeconomic conditions as adults. This, in turn, was related to lower maternal sensitivity—how attuned and responsive mothers were to their children during interactions—and also linked to greater marital conflict and maternal depression. These factors shaped children’s outcomes in specific ways.</p><p>Children’s emotional problems, such as anxiety and sadness, were primarily linked to maternal depression. Mothers with more childhood adversity were more likely to experience depression, and this was a key predictor of emotional difficulties in their children. Fathers’ histories of conduct problems also contributed indirectly to maternal depression, strengthening this link.</p><p>For conduct problems in children—such as aggression and rule-breaking—multiple pathways emerged. One involved fathers’ own histories of behavior problems, which were directly associated with children’s behavior. Another pathway went through the couple’s relationship: maternal childhood adversity predicted more marital conflict, which was in turn linked to conduct issues in children. Lower maternal sensitivity also played a role in this association.</p><p>Cognitive outcomes followed a different pathway. Here, maternal sensitivity emerged as a key influence. Mothers with more childhood adversity tended to have lower socioeconomic status, which was associated with less sensitive caregiving. In turn, children in these environments showed poorer performance on measures of vocabulary and early math ability. Interestingly, maternal adversity showed a small direct link to higher child cognitive scores, but this was likely a statistical artifact. Once indirect pathways were considered, the overall effect of adversity on cognition was negative.</p><p>These findings support an “interactionist model” of development. In this model, a mother’s early adversity can influence her adult socioeconomic status and the characteristics of her romantic partner, which then affect her mental health and caregiving behavior. These, in turn, shape her child’s development. The model highlights how early life experiences can create cascades of risk that accumulate over time and generations.</p><p>While the study cannot prove causation, its design strengthens confidence in the findings. By including multiple informants (mothers, fathers, and trained observers) and multiple measurement methods (questionnaires, behavioral observations, and standardized tests), the researchers were able to paint a more complete picture than many earlier studies that relied solely on maternal self-reports. The longitudinal design, spanning several years of a child’s early development, also allowed the researchers to track how these effects unfolded over time.</p><p>One limitation of the study is its focus on mothers. While the researchers did incorporate paternal conduct history, they did not collect data on fathers’ own childhood adversity. Future studies could explore whether fathers’ early experiences also shape intergenerational risk in similar or distinct ways. Another limitation is that the adversity measures did not include some potentially important forms of early trauma, such as community violence or discrimination. Also, maternal ACEs, mental health, and relationship conflict were all self-reported, which may introduce bias.</p><p>Despite these limitations, the study has significant implications for public policy and early intervention. The findings suggest that childhood adversity is not just an individual problem but one that can affect future generations. Policies that aim to reduce childhood trauma or mitigate its effects could have broad, long-lasting benefits. For example, programs that support young families with financial resources, mental health services, and parenting support may help break the cycle of adversity.</p><p>Screening tools for adverse childhood experiences are relatively easy to administer and could be incorporated into pediatric and maternal healthcare settings. Identifying families at risk could allow for early, targeted support. Moreover, addressing multiple factors at once—such as economic hardship, caregiver mental health, and parenting quality—may be more effective than focusing on any single issue in isolation.</p><p>The study also supports the potential value of broader social policies, such as cash transfer programs, to alleviate economic stress. Preliminary research has found that unconditional financial support to families can lead to improved cognitive and behavioral outcomes in children. High-quality, affordable childcare may also help buffer the effects of family stress on young children’s development.</p><p>The study, “The long reach of adversity: Intermediary pathways from maternal adverse childhood experiences to child socio-emotional and cognitive outcomes,” was authored by Sheri Madigan, Andre Plamondon, and Jennifer M.

Among women, the simultaneous use of alcohol and cannabis was linked to a lower likelihood of regretted romantic or sexual experiences. The study was published in Addictive Behaviors.</p><p>One standard drink in the United States is typically defined as containing 14 grams (0.6 ounces) of pure alcohol. This is equivalent to approximately 12 ounces of beer (5% alcohol), 5 ounces of wine (12% alcohol), or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits (40% alcohol). Heavy drinking is commonly defined as consuming more than four drinks per day or more than 14 drinks per week for men, and more than three drinks per day or more than seven drinks per week for women. This level of alcohol consumption is associated with serious health risks, including liver disease, cardiovascular problems, and increased risk of alcohol use disorder.</p><p>Heavy drinking can also impair cognitive function and decision-making, increasing the risk of accidents, injuries, and engagement in risky behaviors. Over time, chronic heavy drinking can lead to permanent organ damage, mental health disorders, and social or occupational dysfunction.</p><p>Despite these risks, estimates suggest that about one in four young adults in the United States engaged in heavy drinking in the past month. Among this group, approximately one in four women reported consuming eight or more alcoholic drinks on a single occasion, while one in four men reported drinking ten or more drinks on a single occasion. Many young adults who engage in high-intensity drinking also report using cannabis simultaneously.</p><p>Lead author Gabriela López and her colleagues aimed to explore how alcohol use—and the simultaneous use of alcohol and cannabis—relates to the romantic and sexual experiences of heavy-drinking young adults. Specifically, the researchers examined whether the number of drinks consumed or co-use of alcohol and cannabis predicted the likelihood of experiencing either a regretted or positive romantic or sexual event on a given day. They also examined whether gender or a history of sexual assault moderated these associations.</p><p>The researchers analyzed data from a longitudinal study on high-intensity drinking and blackouts. The sample consisted of 201 individuals between the ages of 18 and 29 (average age 22), all of whom reported at least two high-intensity drinking days in the past 30 days. High-intensity drinking was defined as consuming eight or more drinks for women or ten or more drinks for men in a single day. About 57% of the participants identified as women.</p><p>For 28 consecutive days, participants completed brief daily assessments. In the morning, they reported how much they drank the previous day and whether they had used alcohol and cannabis at the same time. In the evening, they indicated whether they had experienced a “romantic/sexual experience you now regret” or “a positive romantic/sexual experience” during or after drinking the previous day. Participants also completed a baseline measure of sexual assault history using the Sexual Experiences Survey.</p><p>The results showed that on days when participants consumed more drinks than usual, they were more likely to report both a regretted and a positive romantic or sexual experience. This association held for both men and women, and regardless of sexual assault history.</p><p>In men, simultaneous use of alcohol and cannabis was not significantly associated with the likelihood of experiencing a regretted romantic or sexual encounter. In contrast, for women, simultaneous use was associated with a decreased likelihood of reporting a regretted experience, even when controlling for the number of drinks consumed. However, simultaneous use was not linked to a higher likelihood of positive experiences in either gender.</p><p>“The current study findings suggest that heavier drinking was associated with both regretted and positive romantic/sexual experiences, regardless of sexual assault history or gender. Simultaneous use was not associated with positive romantic/sexual experiences when controlling for number of drinks. However, given that women were less likely to report a regretted romantic/sexual experience in the context of simultaneous use, even controlling for how much alcohol they had consumed, continued research examining gender differences in day-level associations between substance use and romantic/sexual experiences is needed to inform prevention efforts and reduce the likelihood of substance-related harm,” the study authors concluded.</p><p>The study sheds light on the links between alcohol use and romantic experiences. However, it should be noted that all data came from self-reports leaving room for reporting bias to have affected the results.</p><p>The paper, “Day-level associations among alcohol use, simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use, and both regretted and positive romantic/sexual experiences,” was authored by Gabriela Lopez, Holly K. Boyle, Michelle Haikalis, Mary Beth Miller, Kristina M. Jackson, Kate B. Carey, and Jennifer E.

The technique, called dynamic light scattering spectroscopy, measures microscopic protein movement in the retina and could offer a faster, cheaper, and more accessible way to screen for the disease in its earliest stages.</p><p>Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a progressive neurological condition that gradually impairs memory, reasoning, and other cognitive abilities. It typically develops over many years, and by the time symptoms are obvious enough for a diagnosis, irreversible damage has often already occurred in the brain. That delay has made early detection a top priority in Alzheimer’s research, with hopes that identifying the disease sooner could allow for earlier interventions and better outcomes.</p><p>“The current ‘gold standard’ diagnostic method for Alzheimer’s disease is a PET scan. These are expensive, invasive, and uncomfortable for the patient, only to produce a qualitative reading that is accurate around 70% of the time in identifying the disease at a stage well beyond the point of any remedial action,” explained study author Jeffrey N. Weiss, the founder of Micron Ophthalmic.</p><p>“It was clear to me that something had to change. In my work as a physician and electrical engineer, I had employed dynamic light scattering spectroscopy and knew that it could be useful in providing a rapid, cost-effective, noninvasive, and quantitative measurement. Most impressively, we’ve seen that the technology is capable of diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease at least two years earlier than any current method, opening the window for preventative care.”</p><p>Dynamic light scattering measures how proteins naturally move in the body—a type of motion known as Brownian movement. Since molecular changes often occur before physical damage or visible symptoms appear, Weiss believed dynamic light scattering spectroscopy could detect the earliest signals of Alzheimer’s disease. Because the retina develops from the same tissue as the brain during fetal development, it offers a unique and accessible window into neurological health.</p><p>To test this theory, Weiss developed a dynamic light scattering spectroscopy device that works in tandem with a standard ophthalmic fundus camera. During the procedure, a patient’s pupil is dilated using common eye drops. The patient then stares at a dim red light while the system collects data for just five seconds. Embedded software captures and analyzes the patterns of protein motion in the retina, producing an autocorrelation curve—a mathematical representation of molecular activity.</p><p>The study involved several groups of participants. First, Weiss tested the reproducibility of the dynamic light scattering measurements by examining 17 healthy individuals with no history of neurological or eye disorders. The results were consistent across multiple variables, including sex, time of day, and whether the left or right eye was used. Importantly, the measurements were not affected by the participants’ age, suggesting that the test can reliably be used in older populations who are most at risk for Alzheimer’s.</p><p>Next, Weiss tested 15 individuals with mild cognitive impairment but no diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Of these, four participants showed a distinctive pattern in their results indicating slower protein motion. These individuals went on to receive a formal Alzheimer’s diagnosis six to twelve months later, supporting the idea that dynamic light scattering spectroscopy might detect the disease well before clinical symptoms develop.</p><p>The study also included 17 individuals who had already been diagnosed with probable Alzheimer’s disease. Eleven of these participants had previously tested positive for amyloid buildup using PET scans. In all 11 cases, dynamic light scattering spectroscopy testing correctly identified the Alzheimer’s pattern. Of the remaining six, five were correctly classified as negative based on both PET and DLS results. One participant, who had a negative PET scan, showed a borderline DLS reading that may suggest very early changes missed by current imaging techniques.</p><p>The key feature observed in the dynamic light scattering measurements was a flattening of the initial portion of the autocorrelation curve in patients with Alzheimer’s. This flattening reflects a slowing in the movement of retinal proteins, a signal that likely corresponds to early dysfunction in the retinal nerve fiber layer—an area known to be affected in Alzheimer’s.</p><p>Traditional eye imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography, can also detect changes in this layer, but typically only after significant damage has occurred. In contrast, dynamic light scattering spectroscopy captures molecular-level changes that precede visible structural damage.</p><p>A major advantage of dynamic light scattering spectroscopy over other diagnostic tools is its accessibility. The test is quick, noninvasive, and inexpensive—costing only a few cents to perform and requiring no disposable components. It could be used in community clinics, nursing homes, and low-resource settings where PET scans or spinal taps are impractical. Additionally, the technology avoids common confounding variables that affect optical coherence tomography, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.</p><p>“The retina is an outgrowth of the brain—it is important to acknowledge its growing relevance as an active observation site for biomarkers related to Alzheimer’s disease,” Weiss told PsyPost. “The test itself addresses many of the major issues in Alzheimer’s diagnostics: the complexity of testing in vulnerable populations, the cost-effectiveness of those tests, the elimination of ambiguity or subjectivity in the results, and most importantly, the stage at which we are able to identify the disease. In this regard, I hope that these findings suggest that there is hope in tackling what has previously felt impossible—treating the disease before there are symptoms.”</p><p>Despite these promising results, the study has limitations. The sample sizes were small, and the research was conducted in a single setting. Although the test demonstrated strong predictive potential, larger studies across more diverse populations are needed to confirm its accuracy and reliability. Further work is also needed to determine whether eye diseases that affect the retina could interfere with dynamic light scattering measurements, even if the eye appears healthy during routine examination.</p><p>“The next milestone for this device is to build a sufficient body of evidence that our findings become irrefutable,” Weiss said. “For this, we need to place the machines in a variety of Alzheimer’s sites and assess the results that are generated. After this, the obvious next step is to engage with the FDA process, with the objective being to approve the device for wider use.</p><p>“We have a host of options from there, but one that looks particularly enticing in terms of creating a generational impact through this invention is to use it as an accompaniment for Alzheimer’s drug trials. It can collect far more data, at far shorter intervals, for a far lower cost than any other technology currently employed for this purpose.”</p><p>The study, “Dynamic light scattering of the eye in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease,” was published on November 25, 2024.</p><p>URL: <a href="https://www.psypost.org/new-eye-test-may-detect-alzheimers-disease-years-before-symptoms-emerge-study-suggests/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">psypost.org/new-eye-test-may-d</span><span class="invisible">etect-alzheimers-disease-years-before-symptoms-emerge-study-suggests/</span></a></p><p>-------------------------------------------------</p><p>Private, vetted email list for mental health professionals: <a href="https://www.clinicians-exchange.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">clinicians-exchange.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Unofficial Psychology Today Xitter to toot feed at Psych Today Unofficial Bot <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/@PTUnofficialBot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>PTUnofficialBot</span></a></span></p><p>NYU Information for Practice puts out 400-500 good quality health-related research posts per week but its too much for many people, so that bot is limited to just subscribers.

The findings suggest that disruptions in the brain’s waste clearance system could help explain some of the persistent memory and attention problems seen in adults with the condition.</p><p>ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder marked by symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. While it is often diagnosed in childhood, many people continue to experience symptoms well into adulthood. In adults, ADHD can interfere with work, relationships, and daily functioning, and is often accompanied by cognitive issues such as forgetfulness and difficulty sustaining focus. Although behavioral symptoms are widely studied, the biological mechanisms that underlie adult ADHD are less understood.</p><p>One area of growing interest among scientists is the glymphatic system—a network that helps clear waste products from the brain. This system operates mainly during deep sleep and uses cerebrospinal fluid to flush out harmful substances. Problems with glymphatic function have been linked to other brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. However, little is known about its role in ADHD, especially in adults. The researchers behind this study wanted to explore whether changes in glymphatic function could help explain the cognitive impairments associated with the condition.</p><p>To do this, the team analyzed brain imaging and cognitive data from 41 adults diagnosed with ADHD and compared them to 108 healthy adults. The data came from the University of California, Los Angeles Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomic LA5c Study and included both structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, along with results from several cognitive tests. The researchers used advanced neuroimaging techniques to assess three indicators of glymphatic function: the volume of the choroid plexus (a part of the brain that produces cerebrospinal fluid), a measure known as the ALPS index (which reflects how well fluid moves along blood vessels in the brain), and the strength of the connection between brain activity and cerebrospinal fluid flow (called gBOLD-CSF coupling).</p><p>The participants also completed a range of assessments, including the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale to measure ADHD symptoms, and standardized tests to evaluate memory, attention, and verbal learning. These included the California Verbal Learning Test and the Wechsler Memory Scale.</p><p>The results showed that adults with ADHD had lower ALPS index scores than healthy individuals, suggesting reduced glymphatic activity. This difference was observed across both hemispheres of the brain. The decrease in ALPS scores was linked to reduced fluid movement along specific fiber pathways in the brain, particularly those involved in communication between regions. These findings point to a possible impairment in how effectively the brain is able to clear waste.</p><p>Although the volume of the choroid plexus tended to be higher in the ADHD group, this difference did not reach statistical significance. This may suggest a potential compensatory response or a marker of altered cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, but more research is needed to draw firm conclusions. Likewise, there were no significant differences between the ADHD and control groups in terms of gBOLD-CSF coupling, which reflects functional synchronization between brain activity and fluid flow. This suggests that while structural glymphatic changes may be present, the overall coordination between brain and fluid activity remains intact in adults with ADHD.</p><p>Importantly, the researchers found that lower ALPS index scores were associated with poorer performance on memory tasks, including visual reproduction and delayed recognition. These correlations were stronger in the right hemisphere. The ALPS index also showed links with higher scores on obsessive-compulsive symptoms in participants with ADHD, suggesting a broader relationship between glymphatic function and psychiatric features.</p><p>In healthy participants, higher ALPS scores were also associated with better memory performance, suggesting that glymphatic activity may play a broader role in supporting cognitive health across individuals, not just those with ADHD.</p><p>These findings open up the possibility that glymphatic dysfunction contributes to the cognitive symptoms experienced by adults with ADHD. The researchers propose that impaired waste clearance could lead to the buildup of metabolic byproducts that interfere with brain signaling, particularly in pathways involving dopamine and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are already known to play a role in attention, motivation, and reward processing—all areas often affected in ADHD.</p><p>Another possible explanation is that impaired glymphatic function may contribute to low-grade inflammation in the brain, which has been increasingly recognized in ADHD research. Inflammation can disrupt brain development and affect how neurons communicate. The researchers also point out that sleep problems, which are common in ADHD, may worsen glymphatic dysfunction, since this system operates most effectively during deep sleep.</p><p>On a cellular level, the authors suggest that astrocytes—supportive brain cells that help regulate the glymphatic system—may play an important role. Astrocytes help manage fluid flow through channels called aquaporins and also influence how brain circuits develop. Dysfunction in these cells could create a cascade of problems affecting both waste clearance and neural communication.</p><p>While this study is one of the first to examine glymphatic function in adult ADHD, it has several limitations. Because the data are cross-sectional, the researchers cannot determine whether glymphatic dysfunction causes cognitive problems or results from them. Longitudinal studies are needed to better understand the direction of this relationship. The relatively small sample size also limits the generalizability of the findings, and future research should aim to replicate these results in larger and more diverse groups.</p><p>Despite these limitations, the study adds an important piece to the puzzle of ADHD. It suggests that biological systems beyond neurotransmitter signaling—such as waste clearance—may play a meaningful role in the disorder’s development and persistence. These insights could eventually lead to new therapeutic strategies. For example, improving sleep quality, promoting regular physical activity, or reducing brain inflammation could support glymphatic function and potentially ease cognitive symptoms in adults with ADHD.</p><p>The study, “Glymphatic system dysfunction in adult ADHD: Relationship to cognitive performance,” was authored by Yan Fang, Juan Peng, Tiantian Chu, Feng Gao, Fei Xiong, and Ye Tu.</p><p>URL: <a href="https://www.psypost.org/glymphatic-dysfunction-linked-to-cognitive-performance-deficits-in-adults-with-adhd-study-finds/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">psypost.org/glymphatic-dysfunc</span><span class="invisible">tion-linked-to-cognitive-performance-deficits-in-adults-with-adhd-study-finds/</span></a></p><p>-------------------------------------------------</p><p>Private, vetted email list for mental health professionals: <a href="https://www.clinicians-exchange.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">clinicians-exchange.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Unofficial Psychology Today Xitter to toot feed at Psych Today Unofficial Bot <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/@PTUnofficialBot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>PTUnofficialBot</span></a></span></p><p>NYU Information for Practice puts out 400-500 good quality health-related research posts per week but its too much for many people, so that bot is limited to just subscribers.
