Childhood Neglect Leaves Generational Imprint, Suggests Study

Parents, please take note. Make sure your child is not neglected as childhood emotional neglect has inter-generational effects on brain structure and function, a new study suggests.
The study indicates that the infant children of mothers who had experienced childhood emotional neglect displayed altered brain circuitry involved in fear responses and anxiety. These results show that our brain development is not only shaped by what happens in our own life, but is also impacted by things that happened to our parents before we were even conceived, said lead author of the study, Cassandra Hendrix at New York University Langone Health in the US.

Researchers from the PTSD Systems Biology Consortium, led by scientists from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, have identified distinct biotypes for post-traumatic stress disorder, the first of their kind for any psychological disorder. These biotypes can refine the development of screening tools and may explain the varying efficacy of PTSD treatments , said Dr. Marti Jett, leader of the consortium and WRAIR chief scientist.
Publishing their work in
Molecular Psychiatry in a manuscript first authored by WRAIR s Dr. Ruoting Yang, researchers used blood tests from male, combat-exposed veterans across a three year period to identify two PTSD biotypes, G1 characterized by mild, inherent co-morbidities typical of PTSD and G2 which includes more severe symptoms typical of PTSD and report more physical distress with differing genetic markers and underlying mechanisms of disease. Building on previously published work using machine learning, led by Dr. Francis J. Doyl
