Infants born to mothers living in poverty have smaller volumes of gray and white matter across the entire brain. Additionally, babies born to mothers who live in high crime areas showed differences in brain activity to those whose mothers lived in safer areas. Those born to mothers who experienced crime had weaker neural connections between brain areas that control and process emotions. Maternal stress, researchers say, could be a main factor in the differences in neuroanatomy and brain connectivity.

Georgia Tech and Shriners Hospitals for Children Collaborate on Research Data Resources Share Article The collaboration between Georgia Institute of Technology and Shriners Hospitals for Children is expanding to incorporate the fields of precision medicine and big data analysis and interpretation to improve the lives of children treated at Shriners Hospitals. “This program will allow us to capture, access, share, and analyze data, including diagnostics, radiographic images, and genomics in a way that is not currently available in existing Shriners Hospitals for Children patient registries a...

Integrative Approaches to Identifying Function and Significance of Adiposity Susceptibility Genes In 2019, ~100 million Americans were obese, fueling increases in obesity-related morbidity, mortality, and health care costs, largely from cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). GWAS have demonstrated the fundamental role of genetic susceptibility in obesity risk, including the >1000 loci identified to date. Each GWAS-identified locus potentially provides novel biologic insight; yet the identification of the functional variants, genes, and underlying pathways at these loci has limited translation for pr...
