Study reveals spanking may affect brain development of a child

Study reveals spanking may affect brain development of a child ANI | Updated: Apr 13, 2021 07:46 IST Cambridge (Massachusetts) [US], April 13 (ANI): A recent study by Harvard researchers stated that spanking may affect a child s brain development in similar ways to more severe forms of violence. The research, published recently in the journal Child Development, builds on existing studies that show heightened activity in certain regions of the brains of children who experience abuse in response to threat cues. The group found that children who had been spanked had a greater neural response in multiple regions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), including in regions that are part of the salience network. These areas of the brain respond to cues in the environment that tend to be consequential, such as a threat, and may affect decision-making and processing of situations.

The New Politics of Higher Education

Jonathan Marks The politics of higher education are changing. For decades the basic arrangement has had ascendant conservatives arrayed against it and liberals engaged in a defensive rearguard action. The rightwing onslaught was spearheaded by the likes of William F. Buckley, whose God and Man at Yale (1951) decried the secularization of an elite institution overrun by Keynesians and collectivists. The onslaught endured through the end of the twentieth century in the work of people like Allan Bloom, whose 1987 best-seller The Closing of the American Mind a broadside in the so-called canon wars deplored the rise of “relativism” on campus and the sidelining of great ideas by works by scholars from historically marginalized groups, supposedly promoted in the academy due to political trendiness rather than merit.
