They say the regions of the brain where this drug-induced cell death takes place are important in the regulation of mood, cognition, and movement. In this study, the scientists examined how behavioral function might be affected by the drugs.http://www.healthcentral.com/caregiver/news-408829-29.htmlThu, 22 Oct 2009 12:12:00 EDThttp://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/news-408642-98.htmlTreatment in childhood with epilepsy medications may be linked to the development of schizophrenia later in life, some researchers say.http://www.healthcentral.com/bipolar/news-408642-98.htmlWed, 21 Oct 2009 11:58:01 EDThttp://www.healthcentral.com/alzheimers/news-408414-98.htmlPeople are flocking to buy at-home genetic testing kits that claim to test for such genetic factors as a person's Alzheimer's risk or a baby's true paternity.
