Study explores the influence of the X-chromosome on brain anatomy

Past neuroscience research suggests that common differences in people’s genetic profiles can explain a significant proportion of variations in people’s brain anatomy. In more specific terms, they found that neuroanatomical variation is partly explained by genetic variation. Scientists have hypothesized that the X-chromosome has a particularly crucial influence on the brain, as it is known […]

Study model explores impact of police action on population health

A specific police action, an arrest or a shooting, has an immediate and direct effect on the individuals involved, but how far and wide do the reverberations of that action spread through the community? What are the health consequences for a specific, though not necessarily geographically defined, population? The authors of a new UW-led study […]
