OBJECTIVE This article describes results from a randomized clinical trial of a mindfulness-based intervention for parents and children, Mindful Family Stress Reduction, on a behavioral measure of attention in youths, the Attention Network Task (ANT). METHOD Forty-one parent-child dyads were randomly assigned to either the mindfulness-based intervention condition or a wait-list control. School...

We recently provided evidence for a nonunitary account of default mode network (DMN) function, because DMN activity was associated with greater mind-wandering (MW) on the one hand, but with behavioral stability on the other (1). Csifcsák and Mittner (2) suggest that their nonunitarymodel ofMWcould explain these results. The model predicts distinct neural correlates for attentional states charac...

Reproductive performance is the currency of evolution. All things being equal, an organism should reproduce as often as possible. The puzzling questions in evolutionary biology, therefore, are not how and why an organism does reproduce, but rather how and why an organism does not reproduce. It is difficult to understand why any individual, particularly a female, might forestall reproduction whe...

We consider quantum error-correcting subsystem codes whose gauge generators realize a translation-invariant, free-fermion-solvable spin model. In this setting, errors are suppressed by Hamiltonian terms the of code and exact spectrum eigenstates can be found via generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation. Such solutions characterized frustration graph Hamiltonian: vertices terms, which neighborin...
