TL;DR: Six depressed patients free of recent serious suicidal ideation developed intense, violent suicidal preoccupation after 2-7 weeks of fluoxetine treatment, and none of them had ever experienced a similar state during treatment with any other psychotropic drug.

TL;DR: A new functional magnetic resonance imaging procedure (T2 relaxometry) was developed to indirectly assess blood volume in the striatum (caudate and putamen) of boys 6–12 years of age in steady-state conditions and found boys with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder had higher T2 relaxation time measures in the putamen bilaterally than healthy control subjects.

TL;DR: The relative inability of boys with ADHD to sit still can be objectively verified, and "fidgeting" appears to consist of more frequent, larger amplitude, whole body movements.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that early childhood abuse or trauma could affect the development of the cerebral cortex and limbic during childhood and result in neurobiological abnormalities responsible for subsequent psychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the hypothesis that early abuse might affect the development of the limbic system and found that physical or sexual abuse alone was associated with elevated LSCL-33 scores only if the abuse occurred before age 18.
