241. Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation Elicits Functional Connectivity Changes in Depression

1 month ago | biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com | Daniel Feldman |Sarah Kwon |Lily Vonesh |Tom Riis

We recently demonstrated that transcranial focused ultrasound (tcFUS) can deactivate the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) and elicit rapid improvements in depression. Here we evaluated the hypothesis that delivery of tcFUS to the SCC would change the functional connectivity of SCC with other brain regions, and that this connectivity change might mediate the clinical benefits.
289. Subjective Reports Following Direct Non-Invasive Neuromodulation of Anterior Cingulate Cortex

1 month ago | biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com | Brandon Cooper |Thomas Riis |Daniel Feldman |Jan Kubanek

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been implicated in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders including depression and chronic pain. We recently developed and validated a novel low-intensity focused-ultrasound device that can directly modulate ACC. Here we describe the immediate subjective reports of participants who received repeated brief stimulation.
The Blogs: Economic Protectionism and The History of the Sale of Chametz

1 month ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Daniel Feldman

Economic protectionism is a subject of great controversy in America at the current moment, as is widely reported in the news and in dueling op-eds. What is less well-known, by contrast, is the role that theme had in the development of the practice of mekhirat chametz, the selling of leaven bread before Passover.
The Blogs: The Lessons of Amalek for Our Time

2 months ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Daniel Feldman

The commandments regarding Amalek are, undoubtedly, among the most challenging in the Torah. This statement is true on many levels, first and foremost in the difficulty it reflects in understanding the morality of the Torah commanding what appears to be the elimination of an entire nation.

The Blogs: The Many Lessons of Justice Scalia’s Favorite Gemara

2 months ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Daniel Feldman

The late Antonin Scalia, one of the most outspoken Justices on the United States Supreme Court, was a devout Catholic who also had a strong appreciation for the Talmud. One passage held a particular fascination for him, one that he perceived as a quintessentially “Jewish” ruling. This passage apparently represents a contrast to American law, which requires a unanimous jury to convict. However, Jewish law seems to have an opposite rule:R.
The Blogs: An eye for an eye?

2 months ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Daniel Feldman

There is a long history of criticism against the Jewish people — in fact against the God of the Jewish people and His law — that is rooted in this week’s Torah reading. It is, in truth, a misreading; and that contains its own mystery. “An eye for an eye”, prescribes the Torah (Ex. 21:24), and the literal rendition of that consequence, labeled “Lex Talionis” in Latin, became the symbol of “harsh Old Testament justice,” that called for being replaced by the compassionate forgiveness of Christianity.
The Blogs: Parashat Yitro: Of Rabbis and Robots, and the Artificial Posek

Feb 12, 2025 | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Daniel Feldman

The dawn of the Jewish People’s relationship with the study and instruction of Torah is relived this week with the reading of Parashat Yitro. We do so, of course, in a radically different world, one that is as we speak being transformed by the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence technology, prompting complex questions that span technical, practical, sociological, and deeply spiritual realms.
The Blogs: The Inauguration, American Greatness, and the Promise of Empathy

Jan 26, 2025 | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Daniel Feldman

A presidential inauguration was conducted this week, centered on a theme of American greatness. Helpfully, it took place between two Torah readings that help us to understand what greatness is. In Parashat Shemot, Moses is described as attaining greatness: “And it came to pass in those days, and Moses grew” (Ex. 2:11). The word for growth, vayigdal, is the same word that is used for greatness, gedulah.
