Oregon Hunting Ban Ballot Initiative Fails Signature Deadline

Quote: However, after it was given to the Oregon Secretary of States Elections Division it turned out to be more than 10,000 certified signatures shy of the number needed to get it on the ballot. A May 25, 2026, column from KATU made clear that IP 28 was designed to "make it illegal to injure or kill animals and would effectively ban hunting, fishing and the breeding of animals."...

"It gathered just 104,262 valid signatures, well below the threshold requirement of 117,173 required signatures."

Comment: Not that I favor hunting myself, as I have had good relations with a number of wild animals; but that over 100,000 people signed such an insane petition which would limit major food resources such as fishing, farming, and ranching, is scary. What kind of education did these people get?

Dissociable Anterior and Posterior Beta-Burst Dynamics Track Thought Disorder in Schizophrenia

Quote: Conclusion: Schizophrenia was associated with dissociable anterior and posterior beta-burst abnormalities that tracked objective speech markers of thought disorder. These findings suggest impaired hierarchical coordination of predictive beta signalling as a candidate mechanism linking intrinsic network dysfunction to disorganized thought.

SSRI treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder as motion across a bistable fold: A calibrated circuit-plasticity model of response, remission, and augmentation

Quote: the model shows that SSRIs achieve annihilation in mild-to-moderate OCD but not the most severe. Antipsychotic and memantine augmentation enter the dynamics at points distinct from the SSRI, so the model predicts they combine to annihilate the attractor an SSRI alone cannot, a rationale for augmentation in severe OCD.

Patterns and Purpose of Social Media Use, and Their Association with Depression Among Students at Three Universities in Tanzania: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Quote: The prevalence of depression increased with longer daily duration of social media use. Those using social media for more than 5 hours daily, had 3.049 times higher odds of being depressed. Moderate frequency of social media use for social purposes was linked to reduced depression. Daily duration of social media was significantly associated with depression levels among university students. Significant associations were also found between moderate use of social media for socializing, with lower risk of depression. We recommend that universities develop targeted mental health interventions and promote balanced, purposeful social media use among students.

An fMRI Phenotype of Reward Representation during Effort Expenditure in the Ventral Tegmental Area and Dorsal Raphe: A Longitudinal Study of Depression under Escitalopram Treatment

Quote: Increases in VTA activity were associated with improvements in clinician-rated depressive symptoms, whereas self-reported anhedonia remained unchanged. By isolating neural mechanisms supporting sustained goal-directed behaviour, the study identifies novel and clinically relevant imaging phenotypes of reward processing and a potential pathway of escitalopram treatment in depression.

Deep Learning for Individual-Level Classification of Schizophrenia Versus Healthy Controls from Trial-Level Auditory Oddball ERP Waveforms

Quote: We evaluated whether trial-level auditory oddball event-related potential (ERP) waveforms could support schizophrenia versus healthy-control classification using deep learning....

Deep learning models achieved higher test set discrimination than classical feature-based models, with AUROC values ranging from 0.797 to 0.857 versus 0.705 to 0.720. Benchmark analyses suggested that performance depended on the combination of waveform-level input and deep learning architecture. These findings support trial-level auditory oddball ERP waveforms as promising classification inputs and candidate electrophysiological biomarkers of schizophrenia-related neural information processing.

A Single Dose Reversed Autism-like Symptoms in Adult Mice Within Hours/a

Quote: A UCLA Health study in mice has found that inflammation during pregnancy can produce lasting autism-like changes in offspring. The researchers also discovered that many of the resulting brain and behavioral effects could be improved rapidly in adulthood, although only temporarily, with a single dose of the immune-suppressing drug rapamycin.
