Deep within the bowels of NIMH, our effort to climb to the seat of the mind had been relegated to a lab in the windowless basement--we spend our days isolating and sequencing DNA. We look for changes in the base pair sequences, called nucleotide polymorphisms, that might characterize people suffering from these disorders.
