Origins and immunopathogenesis of autoimmune central nervous system disorders by Ramanathan, S, Brilot, F, Irani, SR, Dale, RC

“…Fourth, we outline how advances in our understanding of the anatomy of lymphatic drainage and neuroimmune interfaces are challenging long-held notions of CNS immune privilege, with direct relevance to CNS autoimmunity, and how disruption of B cell and T cell tolerance and the passage of immune cells between the peripheral and intrathecal compartments have key roles in initiating disease activity. Last, we consider novel therapeutic approaches based on our knowledge of the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune CNS disorders.…”

Slowdown: the end of the great acceleration—and why it's good for the planet, the economy, and our lives by Dorling, D

“…Danny Dorling uses compelling visualizations to illustrate how fertility rates, growth in GDP per person, and even the frequency of new social movements have all steadily declined over the last few generations. <br> Perhaps most surprising of all is the fact that even as new technologies frequently reshape our everyday lives and are widely believed to be propelling our civilization into new and uncharted waters, the rate of technological progress is also rapidly dropping. …”

Topography of social touching depends on emotional bonds between humans by Suvilehto, JT, Glerean, E, Dunbar, RIM, Hari, R, Nummenmaa, L
