TL;DR: The findings raise the possibility that adults presenting with the ADHD symptom picture may not have a childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder, and the disorder's place in the classification system must be reconsidered.

TL;DR: Support is provided for a mechanism linking cumulative childhood stress to telomere maintenance, observed already at a young age, with potential impact for life-long health.

TL;DR: The finding that breastfeeding and IQ are moderated by a genetic variant in FADS2, a gene involved in the genetic control of fatty acid pathways shows that environmental exposures can be used to uncover novel candidate genes in complex phenotypes and shows that genes may work via the environment to shape the IQ.

TL;DR: The data suggest that DNA methylation differences are apparent already in early childhood, even between genetically identical individuals, and that individual differences in methylation are not stable over time.

TL;DR: A haplotype in CRHR1 has been suggested to exert a protective effect against adult depression among research participants who reported maltreatment on the CTQ, a measure that elicits emotional memories, and this suggests the hypothesis thatCRHR1's protective effect may relate to its function in the consolidation of memories of emotionally arousing experiences.
