I am pleased to announce that The Scientist will be added to our popular “Research News Update” series. Not to be confused with Science Daily that also receives updated coverage here, The Scientist is another great research-based, hardcore science website that I regularly track. The Scientist focuses on genetics, biology, and other public health related […]

Hence, I plan to provide weekly to semi-weekly updates on The Behavioral Medicine Report in a similar […]

Due to this volume, key stories are significantly delayed or never written about here. Hence, I have created a new section entitled, “NIH/NIMH Research News Update” […]
Roulette William Smith, Ph.D. details a potentially ground breaking theory that purports to unravel the mystery surrounding the underlying causative factors of autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, and a host of other mental and physical illnesses in his paper entitled, “Inferring an Autovirulent Epigenetic Etiology for the Autism Spectrum and Schizophrenia*.” Dr. Smith’s theory originated from […]
