This chapter examines the potential neighborhood effects of trailer park residence on child and youth development. Using parents’ aspirations that their children have broader life chances than they themselves had, this chapter documents the range of developmental trajectories among children and youth growing up in a rural trailer park. While a few flourish, most often, young people seem set on a course to reproduce their parents working poor class status. Increasingly in adolescence, as the social stigma of park residence emerges, there are developmental costs of park residence that compromises life chances. Less

Research on mental disorders that affect mainly unique human traits or higher brain function will benefit greatly from the introduction of live human tissues relevant to account for the phenotypes. Human neuronal cell models allow for precise molecular and functional characterization of patient phenotypes and genetic backgrounds. Sources of human cell types discussed here include biopsy of olfactory tissue, cellular reprogramming of patient somatic cell lines, either first to pluripotency or directly to neuronal cells. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are particularly useful to study developmental trajectories and functional activity in many disease-relevant cell types. These human cell models should be integrated with current clinical psychiatric and functional characterizations as well as animal models to progress the translational and clinical applications of basic research.
