Unrelated to the usefulness of the research (it sounds pretty interesting and novel to actually measure which brain networks are involved with resilience), but the title feels a bit like saying "air might be gaseous in nature". I mean, isn't all form of thought neurobiological in the end?

It might be written better as, "Cardiometabolic resilience may be neurobiological." Of course, mental resilience being neurobiological would be a banality, however, they are talking about the strength of a specific brain network breaking down an association between poorer cardiometabolic health and neighborhood violence. Definitely a little more interesting, that.

That’s the null hypotyesis, but we still don’t know what thoughts are, so it’s not impossible that they, for example, come from an immortal soul.
