Epigenetic and immune function profiles associated with posttraumatic stress disorder

TL;DR: Peripheral epigenomic and CMV profiles associated with mental illness suggests a biologic model of PTSD etiology in which an externally experienced traumatic event induces downstream alterations in immune function by reducing methylation levels of immune-related genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic costs and evolutionary implications of human brain development

TL;DR: The finding that human brain glucose demands peak during childhood, and evidence that brain metabolism and body growth rate covary inversely across development, support the hypothesis that the high costs of human brain development require compensatory slowing of body growth rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
