Nature, nurture and the risk of depression
Some people are more than twice as likely to become depressed as others, given similar circumstances, according to landmark research from Brain Sciences UNSW (University of New South Wales). view more (2006-03-01)
Animal model for schizophrenia identifies a novel approach for treating cognitive impairments
Researchers have been seeking a safe and effective way to treat cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia by enhancing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors. view more (2009-06-10)
New study finds that add-on therapy improves depressive symptoms in bipolar disorder
Lingering depression is a serious and common problem in bipolar disorder, and does not resolve well with existing treatments. view more (2008-09-03)
Therapy program export treats borderline personality disorder
Trade between countries usually involves products. However, one successful export from the United States to the Netherlands, Norway and several other countries is a cognitive therapy treatment program created by University of Iowa experts to help people with borderline personality disorder. view more (2006-03-29)
Brain holds clues to bipolar disorder
Looking into the brain is yielding vital clues to understanding, diagnosing and treating bipolar disorder, according to findings being presented today at the Seventh International Conference on Bipolar Disorder. view more (2007-06-08)
High polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E intake may halve motor neurone disease risk
A high dietary intake of polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E seems to halve the risk of developing motor neurone disease, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2006-04-27)
U of M study: Health food supplement may curb addiction of pathological gamblers
University of Minnesota researchers have discovered that a common amino acid, available as a health food supplement, may help curb pathological gamblers' addiction. view more (2007-09-12)
Potential genetic testing for substance abuse raises hope, concern
Genetic tests using blood samples already are used to diagnose some diseases and even personalize treatment. view more (2007-03-06)
Throwing the micro switch: MicroRNA may link smoking risk gene to neurobiology of addiction
During the past several years, significant progress has been made in identifying susceptibility genes for nicotine dependence through genetic linkage and association analyses. view more (2009-04-23)
BRAIN RESEARCH REVEALS STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES IN VIOLENT OFFENDERS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS
New brain imaging data has revealed structural differences in the brains of violent offenders with mental disorders, bringing research closer to finding a biological basis for violent behaviour in the mentally ill. Preliminary findings were reported by researchers from London's Institute of Psychiatry at the International Congress on Schizophrenia... view more... (1999-04-19)
Genetic variant predicts antipsychotic response for schizophrenia patients by ethnicity
Schizophrenia is a developmental disorder with a large genetic component contributing to increased risk. Available antipsychotic medications treat some of the symptoms of schizophrenia, but are typically effective in only a subset of patients. view more (2008-01-09)
Genetic variation affects smoking cessation treatment
Mark Twain boasted that it was easy to quit smoking because he did it every day. We now may have the beginnings of understanding why some people find it so difficult to stop smoking even when they are in treatment for this problem. view more (2007-09-21)
Researchers learn more about genetic mutation linked to autism
University of Iowa researchers have learned more about a genetic mutation that contributes to autism. The mutation occurred in sperm cells of a father, who does not have autism, but passed the condition on to two of his children. view more (2007-05-04)

A hormone that enhances one's memory of happy faces
Oxytocin was originally studied as the "milk let-down factor," i.e., a hormone that was necessary for breast-feeding. However, there is increasing evidence that this hormone also plays an important role in social bonding and maternal behaviors. view more (2008-07-29)
Vaccines help kick drug habits
A pair of new vaccines designed to combat cocaine and methamphetamine dependencies not only relieve addiction but also minimize withdrawal symptoms. view more (2007-06-25)
Measles Mumps Rubella and mercury-based immunizations cleared as causes of autism
Pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) like autism and Asperger Syndrome have been on the rise for years. Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccines and thimerosal—containing vaccines (which are approximately 50 percent ethylmercury) have been suggested as possible causes. view more (2006-07-05)
The Unbalanced Mind by Julian Leff
'It will never be possible to explain human behaviour in terms of genes, neurotransmitters, or regional changes in brain activity', suggests Professor Leff, 'the bright promise of molecular genetics has failed to illuminate any psychiatric condition beyond identifying some genes as potential risk factors.' In The Unbalanced Mind Professor Leff... view more... (2001-08-22)
Oxytocin: Love potion #1?
Relationships are difficult and most of us probably think at some point that communicating positively with our partner when discussing stressful issues, like home finances, is an impossible task. view more (2009-04-29)
