Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Category or a Continuum? Genetic Analysis of a Large-Scale Twin Study
TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale twin sample was used to investigate heritability and continuum versus categorical approaches to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), using the De Fries and Fulker regression technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of safety, side-effects and subjective reactions to intranasal oxytocin in human research
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review of 38 randomised controlled trials conducted between 1990 and 2010 that investigated the central effects of intranasal oxytocin was undertaken, and a systematic search for reports of adverse reactions involving intra-nasal O2 was also completed.
Journal ArticleDOI
