I did a search, and I could not see where this paper has been discussed in this forum yet so…

here is a summary By Paul Whiteley on his "questioning answers" blog:

Here is the paper, thankfully it is not behind a pay wall.

I won't pretend to have an understanding of all this, but it appears that in contrary to some of her original work where they found hypomethylation in some of the immune cells, this finds hypermethylation in the brain. as Paul Whitely notes, "This should make for some interesting future discussions I reckon."

makes me think about Rich.
