Epigenetics across the human lifespan
Epigenetics has the potential to explain various biological phenomena that have heretofore defied complete explication. This review describes the various types of endogenous human developmental milestones such as birth, puberty, and menopause, as well as the diverse exogenous environmental factors that influence human health, in a chronological epigenetic context. We describe the entire course ...
متن کاملDeterminants of Time Allocation across the Lifespan
This paper lays the groundwork for a theory of time allocation across the life course, based on the idea that strength and skill vary as a function of age, and that return rates for different activities vary as a function of the combination of strength and skills involved in performing those tasks. We apply the model to traditional human subsistence patterns. The model predicts that young child...
متن کاملPerceptions of obesity across the lifespan.
OBJECTIVE Previous research on obesity stereotyping has almost extensively involved looking at the perceptions that 5-21-year-old individuals have toward members of their own age in-group. Very little research has examined how people perceive obesity across the lifespan. The current research begins to address this gap by examining the extent to which individuals between 18 and 77 years of age s...
متن کاملTechnology Usability across the Adult Lifespan
Current interface design guidelines encompass only a subset of the relevant human-factors data, and seem to have evolved more from intuition than systematic empirical research. In order to close the young-old digital gap, we advocate the development of guidelines that are more firmly anchored in a comprehensive understanding of adult lifespan developments in cognition, learning style as well as...
متن کاملChanges in Cortical Plasticity Across the Lifespan
Deterioration of motor and cognitive performance with advancing age is well documented, but its cause remains unknown. Animal studies dating back to the late 1970s reveal that age-associated neurocognitive changes are linked to age-dependent changes in synaptic plasticity, including alterations of long-term potentiation and depression (LTP and LTD). Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques ena...
