Arboleda Ortiz Atkins death penalty commuted by Obama



The press is all a buzz about President Obama's commutation of Chelsey Manning's prison sentence (for leaking classified information).  What has flown under the radar among Obama's commutations is his commutation of Arboleda Ortiz's Atkins-related death penalty to life without the possibility of parole.  I have previously refrained from commenting on this case given that I provided expert declarations for Mr. Ortiz's defense team.  In fact, this was my first ever Atkin's case.  Prior FYI posts re: Ortiz can be found here.

A brief ABA Journal article about this commutation can be found here.  It is my understanding that this was the first such presidential grant since 1999.  I will provide more details as they become available.

Disturbances in the salience network may be common mechanism for multiple psychiatric disorders



Yet more support for the importance of understanding brain networks.  I have also suggested the importance of the interplay of the salience network, the default network and the central executive control network in my MindHub Pub 2 white paper....in an attempt to explain the possible mechanisms of a neurotechnology that appears to make demands on attentional control.  Report can be found here....http://www.themindhub.com/research-reports

"Disturbances in the salience network may be a common etiology underlying many psychiatric disorders."
