The Download: GLP-1s and eating disorders, self-aware cities, and forever chemicals
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. Eating disorders are on the rise. GLP-1s could make things…
Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies and the Brain: from Neurodevelopmental Risk to Fundamental Biology
Sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs) are collectively common (∼1/400 individuals) conditions that involve loss or gain of one or more X- or Y- chromosomes. A recent surge in SCA research has highlighted their underappreciated penetrance…
Trends in Autism Spectrum Disorder Cumulative Incidence and Incidence Density: A Systematic Review
Claims of an “autism epidemic” imply a true increase in ASD occurrence and changing underlying risk yet largely rely on rising prevalence estimates rather than incidence. Both measures are influenced by diagnostic practices, service…

New Study Identifies Different Biological Subtypes of Autism
Research findings help explain why symptoms present so differently from one child to the next, and why individualized supports and interventions are essential. The post New Study Identifies Different Biological Subtypes of Autism appeared first on Child Mind Institute.
STAT+: Praise for FDA’s acting commissioner
Kyle Diamantas doesn't have the typical CV for an FDA commissioner, but he's earning early praise.
Text Messaging for Mental Health Promotion With Migrants Returning to Mexico: Content Development and Piloting With a Needs Assessment Approach
Background: Returning migrants face a variety of challenges that limit their ability to integrate and adapt to Mexico. This represents a break in their life trajectory, with effects on family dynamics, mid- and long-term projects, and uncertainty about short-term plans.…
When AI Colludes: Clinical Reliability of Training and Preference Data as a Trustworthy-AI Criterion
Research on artificial intelligence (AI) and mental health has focused largely on harms at deployment, including chatbot safety, sycophancy, and AI-associated delusions. Less attention has been paid to a prior question: whether the human-generated text and preference judgments that shape…
STAT+: $775 billion, $1.2 billion, and $38k
Medicaid cuts stemming from Republicans' 2025 tax law are expected to be even bigger than forecast.
Rethinking organizational design in the age of agentic AI
Amid rapidly growing adoption of enterprise-level AI agents, there’s a disconnect emerging between ambition and execution. Although 85% of organizations say they want to be agentic within the next three years, 76% say their current operations and infrastructure can’t support…
Trump wraps up three-hour medical visit to Walter Reed and declares ‘Everything checked out PERFECTLY’
President Trump had another medical exam on Tuesday, putting his health under renewed public scrutiny after he has worked to dismiss concerns over his age and stamina.
What do early data from Utah’s Doctronic AI pilot show?
In this edition of STAT Health Tech: Early data from a Utah pilot using AI to renew prescriptions, Oura files to go public, and more.
STAT+: Five biotech news updates to stay on top of today
Eli Lilly spends more of its GLP-1 cash, Humira's masterclass in monopoly, and more updates from The Readout
The Download: puncturing the AI jobs panic
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. A reality check on the AI jobs hysteria Despite the growing hysteria over AI’s threat to…
Physiological determinants of cortical P100 responses in pattern visual evoked potentials: a scoping review
BackgroundPattern visual evoked potentials (pattern VEP) are widely used for functional assessment of the visual pathways. The P100 component represents the principal clinical parameter owing to its relative interindividual stability and diagnostic value. However, both latency and amplitude are modulated…
Progenitor diversity during formation of the mammalian neocortex
Mammalian neocortical development follows a precise spatiotemporal sequence to generate the organized structure responsible for higher-order cognition and behavior. Increasing evidence suggests that diversification of neural stem and progenitor cells during prenatal development is a key step in the emergence…
Autonomic imbalance and vascular injury in hypertensive chronic kidney disease: mechanisms and clinical potential of ultrasound-guided sympathetic blockade
Hypertensive Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) constitutes a significant global health burden, characterized by a vicious cycle of hypertension and progressive renal decline. Autonomic imbalance, specifically sympathetic overactivity and parasympathetic withdrawal, is increasingly recognized as a central driver of this pathophysiology,…
Disease-associated RNA and protein signatures in iPSC-derived microglia model of Alzheimer’s disease
IntroductionMicroglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, play a critical role in maintaining neural homeostasis and regulating inflammatory responses in the brain. Increasing evidence suggests that microglial dysfunction contributes to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s…
GGDA-net: geometry-guided deformable attention network for Alzheimer’s disease image classification
BackgroundConvolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved remarkable success in medical image analysis, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) classification. However, conventional convolution operations rely on fixed sampling patterns, and most existing attention mechanisms primarily focus on feature responses while neglecting spatial sampling…
Task-state P300 and functional brain network abnormalities in adolescent major depressive disorder: a Stroop paradigm study
BackgroundCognitive control deficits are a core feature of adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD), yet the associated task-state neurophysiological mechanisms remain poorly characterized. This study investigated electrophysiological alterations in MDD using a Stroop color-word task.MethodsTwenty-two adolescents with MDD and fifteen age-…
Aggression and emotional distress in adolescents: a cross-sectional chain mediation model of internet addiction and somatization
BackgroundAdolescent depression and anxiety are major public health concerns. Aggression is frequently associated with internalizing symptoms, but the behavioral and body related mechanisms underlying this association remain insufficiently clarified. This study examined a theoretically proposed chain mediation model linking aggression…
A bibliometric analysis of neuroimaging studies on cognitive control in autism spectrum disorder (2000–2025)
ObjectiveThis study aims to systematically analyze neuroimaging research on cognitive control in Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from 2000 to 2025 using bibliometric methods, in order to reveal the evolutionary trajectory, core knowledge base, research hotspots, and future frontiers of the…
