AGING BRAIN GENETICS
Sd341-013	A Major Alzheimers Risk Gene May Shrink Brain Cells Years Before Symptoms
	Quote:	Researchers have uncovered a possible reason why the Alzheimers risk gene APOE4 can disrupt the brain long before memory problems begin. In mice, APOE4 increased a protein called Nell2, shrinking neurons and making memory circuits unusually active. That early hyperactivity predicted worse memory later in life. Reducing Nell2 in adult mice reversed the abnormal changes, raising hopes for a new way to intervene before Alzheimers progresses.

BRAIN GENETICS PSYCHOLOGY
Sd343-010	Childhood Trauma May Leave a Lasting Scar Inside Brain Cells
	Quote:	Severe stress during childhood can increase a persons vulnerability to anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders when new challenges arise later in life. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Princeton University have now identified a biological process that may help explain how early trauma can have such long-lasting effects on the brain. Researchers have known that stress during early development can alter gene activity in the brain. The new findings suggest that these changes stem partly from the way brain cells package their DNA.

Sd343-011	Your Genes May Decide Whether a Low-carb Diet Sends Cholesterol Soaring
	Quote:	Low-carb diets have become increasingly popular, but their effects on cholesterol are far from uniform. Some people see little change, while others experience a substantial increase. New research suggests that genetics may help explain why. The findings indicate that saturated fat, which can make up a larger share of some low-carb diets, may interact with a persons genetic makeup to raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, a major contributor to heart disease risk.

	Quote:	Ancient teeth and human DNA are revealing a surprising history of insect eating. Modern humans in northern Eurasia appear to have eaten insects only occasionally, while Neanderthals may have consumed them much more regularly. Populations near the tropics also retained genes that make insect exoskeletons easier to digest.
