SHORT WAVE 

Experiencing racism may physically change your brain

 

There's no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to the brain.

*weathering 풍화(작용)

*downstream (먼저 일어난 일의) 후속의, 하류의

*myriad [ˈmɪriəd] 무수함, 무수히 많음; 무수한

Alzheimer’s disease is twice as prevalent in Black people as compared to white.

*down the line  미래에, 나중에 (=in the future)

*play something out ~을 유발하다[발생시키다] (=enact)

Are there different ways that it plays out?

That seems to be driven by the structural inequities between these groups, whether that be in terms of income or neighborhood disadvantage.

*toll 손상, 타격, (전쟁·재난 등의) 사상자[희생자] 수

You can visually see the cumulative stress of racism and its toll in the brain.

*disproportionate 불균형의 unbalanced

*marginalized people 소외된 계층의 사람들

*insidious 서서히[은밀히] 퍼지는, 교활한, 음흉한, 방심할 수 없는

*insidiously 교묘하게, 음흉하게

Racism hasn't been recognized as the kind of insidiously damaging stressor.

"That could be behaviors like, let's say, a woman clutching her purse as a black man is walking next to her. Or they could be verbal, like someone saying, like... 'I didn't expect you to be so articulate,'" says Negar Fani, a clinical neuroscientist at Emory University who studies people experiencing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.

Recently, Fani has collaborated with Nate Harnett, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, to study how the brain responds to traumatic events and extreme stress, including the events and stress related to racism.
