Reportedly, HHS is said to highlight Tylenol when taken during pregnancy, along with low levels of folate as potential causes of autism.

"Iseult", the world's most powerful MRI scanner, has delivered its first images of the human brain and is expected to provide a better understanding of its functioning and of certain neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. The technical feat is the result of a French-German partnership which has required more than 20 years of research.
