The common, inexpensive supplement was linked with a 44% reduction in suicide attempts and self-harm.
Work in mice illuminates how pain neurons shield the gut from damage
Researchers have discovered more than 12,000 genetic variants associated with human height in the largest known genome-wide study.
It has been known for a long time that human brain disorders such as neurological or psychiatric diseases run in families, suggesting some heritability. In line with this hypothesis, genetic risk factors for developing these illnesses have been identified.
