    • Arene and Heteroarene Functionalization Enabled by Organic Photoredox Catalysis March 12, 2025
      ConspectusAromatic functionalization reactions are some of the most fundamental transformations in organic chemistry and have been a mainstay of chemical synthesis for over a century. Reactions such as electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution (EAS and S(N)Ar, respectively) represent the two most fundamental reaction classes for arene elaboration and still today typify the most utilized methods […]

    • Connectome-wide Brain Signature During Fast Food Advertisement Exposure Predicts BMI At 2 Years March 8, 2025
      Food advertisements target adolescents contributing to weight gain and obesity. However, whether brain connectivity during those food advertisements can predict weight gain is unknown. Here, 121 adolescents (14.1±1.0y; 50.4% female; BMI: 23.4±4.8; 71.9% White) completed both a baseline fMRI paradigm viewing advertisements (unhealthy fast-food, healthier fast-food, and non-food) and an anthropometric assessment two years later.

Measuring and interpreting individual differences in neurodevelopment can present challenges: Is there a "standard" way for the human […]
