Blood-derived deoxyribonucleic acid methylation clusters associate with adverse social exposures and endophenotypes of stress-related psychiatric illness in a trauma-exposed cohort of women
Adverse social exposures (ASEs) such as low income, low educational attainment, and childhood/adult trauma exposure are associated with variability in brain region measurements of gray matter volume (GMV), surface area (SA), and cortical thickness (CT). These CNS morphometries are associated with stress-related psychiatric illnesses and represent endophenotypes of stress-related psychiatric illness development. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as 5-me…

We are such stuff / As dreams are made on.—Prospero, in Shakespeare, The Tempest (ca. 1619)Only an American could have seen in a single lifetime the growth of the whole tragedy of civilization from the primitive forest clearing. An Englishman grows up to think that the ugliness of Manchester and the slums of Liverpool have existed since the beginning of the world.—Bernard Shaw, Shaw: An Autobiography 1856–1898LUCA [Last Universal Common Ancestor]…
Why the West Rules—for Now
An appreciation of Ian Morris's magisterially synthesized Why the West Rules requires attention to a short roll of other “grand narrative” historiographical hybrids that, like West, join erudition and polemic. With Morris's book as a wonderfully illuminated representative, this recent crop of books may be the most useful ever in reporting the advanced and promising and precarious state of social order in the world: Prestigious titles are Richard …

In Defense of Anatomy of Wonder
Effect of Stigmatizing Conditions on the Use of Personal Space
Two studies examine the use of personal space by persons in interactions involving stigmatized individuals. In the first, responses on a figure-placement task and on an attitude questionnaire are compared. In the second, interactions involving a person believed to have epilepsy are examined in regard to both initial interaction distance and eye contact. The expectation that the ascription of epilepsy to a stranger will result in less proximate in…
