Clinical safety assessment of implanted brain-computer interfaces: current evidence and a pathway to standardization
Implanted brain-computer interfaces are beginning to move beyond short laboratory sessions into long-term and home use. The evidence used to judge clinical safety remains fragmented. This review examines penetrating intracortical, cortical-surface (including subpial) and cerebral-venous systems, with stimulation considered as…
Connectedness as a candidate pathway linking psilocybin retreat experiences to sustained wellbeing: a prospective naturalistic study
BackgroundPsychedelic retreats are increasingly used to promote wellbeing outside clinical settings, yet the psychological processes associated with sustained improvements in wellbeing remain poorly understood. From a public mental health perspective, identifying mechanisms that support positive mental health beyond symptom reduction…
Pediatric psychotropic prescribing and polypharmacy, 2019-2022: a retrospective electronic health record study in Qatar
BackgroundReal-world evidence on pediatric psychotropic prescribing and polypharmacy in Gulf health systems remains limited. Characterizing medication-class patterns and multi-class prescribing is essential for medication safety surveillance in children and adolescents. This study examined psychotropic prescribing, potential polypharmacy, and recorded medication…

AimThe aim of the study was to assess the level of life satisfaction of forensic psychiatry patients and to identify selected demographic and clinical factors related to life satisfaction, with particular emphasis on illness acceptance.Material and methodsThe study included 121…
Social Media Use Motives and Mental Health Among Adolescents: Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Social media use is ubiquitous among young people, yet its relationship with mental health may depend on why it is used. Understanding the motives underlying social media engagement may provide greater insights into its potential risks and benefits than…
STAT+: Lawmaker wants government watchdog to probe TrumpRx over claims about drug savings
A House lawmaker asked the Government Accountability Office to review whether the TrumpRx platform has saved Americans any money.
Creating AI value with enterprise context
Across a business, any number of AI platforms, systems, and tools may be at work simultaneously—for example, AI-powered customer platforms, conversational assistants, and workflow and process automation tools. Each one is sophisticated, advanced, and quick to respond. But, when set…
STAT+: HHS moves to allow compounding of some unapproved peptides
Kennedy and his MAHA movement have embraced peptides, though there's little evidence for many of the wellness compounds.
Probability-Dependent Scaling of Fear Responding, But Not Unconditioned Stimulus Inflation, Requires the Periaqueductal Gray
Adaptive behavior requires animals to estimate threat, update these estimates following new aversive experiences, and align fear responding to up-to-date estimates. The periaqueductal gray (PAG) is traditionally viewed as a downstream relay that converts threat estimates into freezing. Here we…

Development and feasibility testing of the taVNS adverse events questionnaire: a multistage methodological study
Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive neuromodulatory therapy gaining interest for its neural mechanisms and therapeutic effects. Although taVNS is considered safe, adverse event (AE) reporting remains inconsistent, lacking standardized procedures for assessment and documentation. This study…
Psychosocial distress is a stronger correlate of psychiatric symptom burden than cannabis dependence in young adults: a functional connectome and structural equation modeling study
IntroductionCannabis is widely used among young adults and often viewed as a primary driver of adverse psychiatric and neural outcomes, yet the psychosocial and socioeconomic context in which use occurs is rarely modeled jointly with neural and behavioral measures.MethodsUsing the…
Source-resolved electroencephalogram microstates reveal opposing prefrontal-posterior dynamics and a candidate temporal-to-precuneus pathway in disorders of consciousness
IntroductionObjective and circuit-level biomarkers of consciousness are urgently needed for disorders of consciousness.MethodsWe recorded high-density electroencephalography from 33 patients with disorders of consciousness (17 vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome, 16 minimally conscious state) and 19 healthy controls during rest and auditory…
