This study establishes how aperiodic activity develops in localized brain regions and illuminates the development of prefrontal control during adolescence in the development of attention and memory. @cross_zachariah @NUFeinbergMed @NorthwesternU nature.com/articles/s4156…
A large cross-country trial finds that income-preserving four-day workweeks boost job satisfaction and worker's well-being. @OrlamKelly Boston @BostonCollege @ucddublin #sociology #4DW nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this Article, @OriPlonsky et al. introduce a new model that merges behavioral science and machine learning to predict choice under risk and uncertainty. Tested on multiple large datasets, it exceeds top psychological and AI models. nature.com/articles/s4156…
This new study from Ben-Hur Francisco Cardoso et al. uses large-scale data to examine patterns of occupational skill and status segregation along race and gender lines in Brazil nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this new study, Liu et al. examine the role of sustained neural activity in the planning and production of speech sequences. nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this Comment, Sarracino et al. argue that governments should prioritize human wellbeing over economic growth. nature.com/articles/s4156…
A Registered Report by Batruch et al aimed to replicate 35 key hypotheses from 17 correlational and five experimental studies using quota-based or probability samples from the U.S., France, Switzerland, and India. nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this Article, Paluch et al. show that unattended working memory items, as well as attended ones, are encoded in persistent activity in the medial temporal lobe. nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this Correspondence, Dunivin and Smaldino argue for greater user control of algorithms for scientific search, and explain why this will benefit both science and platforms alike. nature.com/articles/s4156…
In Heraklion, Crete for @ASSC2025. Excited for my first time at this conference! Reach out if you’d like to see your #consciousness research in @NatureHumBehav or to chat about science #publishing in general. #ASSC28
A new Perspective by @FriedrichMGoetz, @d_t_luca, @DouglasTKenrick et al proposes a unifying Geographical–Psychological Interactionist Framework, aiming to inspire concrete & testable hypotheses. nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this new paper, Ojer et al. map respondents from the American National Election Studies (ANES) into a two-dimensional ideological space and trace dynamics of political polarization and partisan sorting over time nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this study, Chen et al. use UK Biobank data to reveal a dietary pattern associated with a lower risk of dementia, and validate this in additional cohorts. nature.com/articles/s4156…
New study shows people use popularity & social distance to strategically spread gossip. @alicex78 @NassarLab @apaxon @orielf #SocialNetworks nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this study, @MatanRubin1 @_desmond_ong @amit_goldenb @AnatPerry et al show that human-attributed responses are rated as more empathic than AI-attributed ones, especially when conveying shared experience and care. nature.com/articles/s4156…
While individualism and isolated work remain common in #academia, coordination offers substantial benefits. This Comment urges systemic changes from all stakeholders toward more coordinated #science. @sajedeh_rasti @lakens nature.com/articles/s4156…
In this article, @Sacha_Altay @EmmaHoes93 and @mwojcieszak show that following the news on social media increases current affairs knowledge, the ability to discern true from false news, and trust in the news. nature.com/articles/s4156…
This video summarizes the recent work by Fassi et al. regarding mental health conditions among adolescents. Here is the link to the original article: nature.com/articles/s4156…
Social media use amongst adolescents is widespread. At the same time, the mental health of adolescents is worsening. Research found that one in six 7–16-year-olds and one in four 17–19-year-olds in the UK have a probable mental health condition. @NaturePortfolio @NatureHumBehav
In this article, Zhu et al. use machine learning to reveal new complex insights into human strategic decision-making. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Using in silico neuroscience, Gifford et al. developed a neural control algorithm to modulate the representational relationships between visual cortical areas, revealinghow these areas jointly represent the world as an interconnected network. #NeuroAI nature.com/articles/s4156…
