Hi everyone! How was your day? Mine was super busy, with shopping, cleaning, and getting my pedicure. That is one of the girly things I do once a month to pamper myself. You sit in a massage chair and it is just terrific. But I digress. We have an announcement to make! Our group will have a new name very soon to reflect who we are and what we do here. We are growing, and not just in numbers. So stick around, ladies and gents, the show is about to begin! ( Cue the Fiftie's TV Music!) Until we meet again, MamacitaLucita

@sirgalahad.....Fascinating! I have always felt there was a genetic component back there somewhere. I cannot wait to read the paper. Thank you so much for sharing this information! You are what we all should strive to be: A lifelong learner. Love and light, Mamacitalucita
Hi @sirgalahad -- I think I found a link to the paper you are talking about - great information and hope.

THATS THE PAPER I CAME ACROSS ITS FASCINATING BUT GOOD GRIEF SLOGFEST TO READ AND UNDERSTAND OH MY GOODNESS .BRAIN PHYSIOLOGY NOT MY FIELD AND IT MAKING SENSE AND I AM VERY GLAD TOO SEE THAT WE ARE FINDING THE GENETIC LINKS AND GENE CAUSAL AGENTS
Hello, @sirgalahad -- it is good, indeed, that genetic links and causal agents are being discovered.
I notice that you were typing in ALL CAPS in this post on the paper. You'll notice that we advise against using all caps in the community guidelines https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/. That's because all caps is considered shouting in online communications. However, a few members on Connect have to or prefer to use all caps due to typing difficulties (sore hands) or eyesight issues. Is that why you use all caps sometimes?
I get lazy and forget I am not threatening anyone and I am, conscious of caps as an offence to others and thanks for the reminder
