Article Synopsis
- The paper examines how an individual's environment influences brain development through neural mechanisms that support enrichment, emphasizing its role in enhancing both cognitive abilities and overall health.
- It contrasts the positive effects of enriching environments with the negative impact of stress and trauma on the brain, highlighting key factors such as support, nutrition, physical activity, music, sleep, and cognitive strategies that contribute to healthy development.
- Additionally, it advocates for integrating Gardner's intelligence types into school curriculums to create holistic educational strategies, while also addressing social determinants affecting health and education, particularly in vulnerable communities.
DNA methylation data play a crucial role in estimating chronological age in mammals, offering real-time insights into an individual's aging process. The epigenetic pacemaker (EPM) model allows inference of the biological age as deviations from the population trend. Given the sensitivity of this data, it is essential to safeguard both inputs and outputs of the EPM model.
