traumatic stress on developing neural networks and on the neu- roendocrine systems that regulate them have until recently remained hidden even to the eyes of most neuroscientists. However, the infor- mation and data that we present herein suggest that this veiled cas- cade of events represents a common pathway to a variety of important long-term behavioral, health, and social problems. The convergence of evidence from neurobiology and epidemiology calls for an integrated perspective on the origins of health and social problems through the lifespan.5 32 The Judges’ Journal • Vol. 53 No. 3
