SEEK ORGANIC CAUSE

The new research attack may find organic causes of the puzzling mental diseases of , t-unknown origin. like schizophrenia. These clues concern severe illness. not

. the minor emotional upsets.

ISD is closely related chemi- cally to serotonin. a natural hor- mone. in the brain. Serotonin is involved in transmitting nerve lin- pulses across the billions of tiny switching points in the brain. So one line of attacks seeks to learn whether there is too little saro- tnnin in the brains of mental pa- Yienta. or whether it is mis- handled.
