More than one-third of UK health experts are not aware of Charles Bonnet syndrome — CBS — a condition which can cause vivid, and sometimes frightening, hallucinations.
A poll of 1,100 health experts — including GPs, doctors and optometrists — found 37 per cent were not aware of CBS.
The condition is not caused by mental health problems or dementia. It is purely due to a loss of sight — 60 per cent or more — which reduces or stops the regular messages from the eye to the brain.
The human brain is a complex system exhibiting multi-scale spatiotemporal organization. In this talk, I will provide an overview of my lab’s work on large-scale functional network organization across different timescales. First, I will present a biophysically plausible model of second-level fluctuation in the brain’s functional connectivity patterns. I will then discuss how minute-level task-state changes can predict behavioral traits. This is followed by exploring how brain dynamics can vary over the course of a day. Finally, I will discuss our work on estimating individual-level network markers that are stable across weeks and months.

The first 5 minutes are well worth it.

In this video, Dr. Lee Hood traces the beginnings of systems biology and the founding of the Institute for Systems Biology to its role in the creation of systems (P4) medicine and ISB’s recent affiliation with Providence.
Cybercriminals hacked employees of at least two US federal civilian agencies last year as part of a “widespread” fraud campaign that sought to steal money from individuals’ bank accounts, US cybersecurity officials revealed Wednesday.
In one case, the unidentified hackers posed as tech support, convinced a federal employee to call them and then instructed the federal employee to visit a malicious website, according to the advisory from the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, National Security Agency and a threat-sharing center for state and local governments known as MS-ISAC.
The goal of the scam, which appears to have hit both private sector and government agencies, was to trick victims into sending the scammers money. It was unclear if that happened in the case of the federal employees.
