The medical test paradox: Can redesigning Bayes rule help? | 3Blue1Brown
Another great video by 3Blue1Brown! I think the perspectives about the test paradox could probably be relevant to most fields that require statistical knowledge.
Scientists may be closer to understanding how the brain can function differently in people who have bipolar disorder. In a new study, researchers say they’ve found evidence that certain brain cells trigger inflammation more easily in those who have BPD, and that these wayward cells can be linked to decreased neural activity that could be harmful to our mental health. The findings, published on Thursday in Stem Cell Reports, could hint at a new way to treat bipolar disorder someday, though more research is still needed.
Scientists have been studying the connection between inflammation and mental illness for some time, including bipolar disorder. People with bipolar disorder experience uncontrollable mood swings that can leave them severely depressed one moment and manic the next. People with bipolar disorder are known to be more likely to have other conditions associated with chronic inflammation, such as hypertension and diabetes.

The Cajal Institute also has some more of his drawings.

Edit: I have added rules and a new community image. If you find any news regarding psychology, its fields, or you want to ask/discuss something, please do so :D And if you have any more ideas for this community, please share them here!
Looking at /r/psychology, it seems that restricting the content to only scientific news/papers might stop an inflood of low-quality submissions that are just unscientific at best; but many of the articles over there are often just the results of one/two studies taken at face value.
