For example, alcoholism type II has a high family loading, a severe course, and is often associated with antisocial behaviour. In order to gain further understanding of aggressive and im...

At present there are no biomarkers to predict suicidal behaviour. The authors of this article have attempted to describe the neurobiology o...
