• The evolution of the human brain lead to our brains being immature at birth
• The brains of babies mimic the emotional conditions of their caregivers
• The reduced size of the corpus cullosum in abused children may lead to exclusively extreme perecptions of people
• The quality of the relationships with childhood caregivers determines the capacity for a healthy stress-response
• The overactive stress response of those who had a stressful childhood leads to an overvaluation of short-term relief
• The brains of abused or neglected children show reductions of the size of several brain structures
• Stress and maternal deprivation in infancy and childhood leads to excess stress chemicals
• Maternal deprivation leads to reduced levels of oxytocin
• A stressful childhood can result in an overactive stress response in later life
• Children serve to inject new ideas into the system of cultural evolution
• Spotlight consciousness
• Lantern consciousness
• The cerebral hemispheres are more independent in babies and children
• Babies and children are more reliant on the right hemisphere than the left
