...team's findings, just published in a paper in the British Journal of Psychiatry, have far-reaching implications, argues co-author Philip Mitchell, convenor of Brain Sciences UNSW, which encompasses staff from the University of New South Wales and affiliated institutes. By helping to predict the likelihood and timing of depressive episodes, Mitchell says, "this gives us the potential for true prevention of depression." Any move into prevention, however, raises issues that the authors of the paper have only begun to grapple with...

When lobbyist Romeril began working in child care five years ago, she found many colleagues gloomy about the prospects for change. But as the issue gains momentum, she says...
...these researchers are working with genealogy and phenotypic research, the database would provide unique information that they wouldn’t be able access anywhere else,” Brittain said. Sixty neuroscience researchers, who comprise four research groups, are studying the link between depression tendencies and genetics using brain imaging technology, according to Brittain. Brittain declined to disclose the names of the researchers since negotiations are still underway. But Harvard professors said they knew very little about the possible outflow of scientists. Even before the USTAR bill was passed last week, HMS Professor of Neurobiology David Corey said...
