  • Genetics of monozygotic twins reveals the impact of environmental sensitivity on psychiatric and neurodevelopmental phenotypes

    Open AccessElham Assary, Jonathan R I Coleman et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2025References: 48

    Individual sensitivity to environmental exposures may be genetically influenced. This genotype-by-environment interplay implies differences in phenotypic variance across genotypes, but these variants have proven challenging to detect. Genome-wide association studies of monozygotic twin differences are conducted through family-based variance analyses, which are more robust to the systemic biases that impact population-based methods. We combined da…

    Ronald G WaltersARTICLEJournal of American History2013Cited by: 2

    Readers of this book will not learn much about American abolitionists but will enter a bracing conversation about moral commitments, extremists, and moderation.

    Ronald G WaltersARTICLEThe Public Historian1991

    Toward the beginning of Rattle and Hum (1988), a documentary-style film about the rock group U2, band members face the camera, answering questions from the director, Phil Joanou. After awkward pauses and halfhearted exchanges, the session dissolves into laughter as Joanou says I knew this would never work. It is a wonderful moment that both asserts and undermines the film's claim to be unstaged, documentary truth. From that point on, the movie mo…
