Trauma history shapes how the brain adaptively responds to new stress
Trauma history shapes how the brain adaptively responds to new stress
New research suggests the brain copes with new stress by temporarily weakening the networks shaped by past trauma. This quieting of trauma-related circuits is linked to fewer symptoms of depression and better emotional regulation.

Path Asymmetry in Complex Dynamic Systems of Psychopathology
This article illustrates the assumption of path symmetry in current theories of psychopathology and calls for the development of dynamical systems of mental illness that incorporate asymmetry.

We named our Jane after many admirable Jane's, but Jane Goodall is at the top of the list. Scholar, activist, icon. What a life. Rest in power, Jane, and thank you.
Breaking News: Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, died at 91. Her discoveries in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behaved in the wild broke new ground and represented what was called “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” nyti.ms/42kpGxt

I grew up in rural South Carolina with a single mom who worked multiple jobs. At times, we relied on Medicaid and SNAP—like so many others. My heart breaks for those now wondering if that help will still be there.
Imagine having all that power and choosing to make people’s lives worse.
Shameful.
