New results from the FinnGen project yielded a trove of novel genetic discoveries, linking previously unknown genes to an array of health disorders.
Men with depression are 33% less likely to have children, and depressed women are 15% less likely to have children than their peers who do not suffer from depression. Additionally, women are more likely to suffer symptoms of depression during their childbearing years.

A newly designed baby jumpsuit that monitors motor development carries the possibility for assessing overall neurodevelopment in infants.
Study reveals there are not that many "girlish girls" or "boyish boys."
Fetal exposure to antidepressants or antiepileptic medications may affect the development of newborn brain networks.
Researchers have identified 120 regions of the genome that are connected to migraine risk.
Carriers of the Alzheimer's associated APOE4 gene have more than double the risk of developing severe COVID-19, a new study reports. Additionally, more microscopic hemorrhages were found in the brains of APOE4 carriers who contracted coronavirus. Researchers report those with the APOE4 gene also are more susceptible to developing long-term symptoms following COVID infection, including an increased risk of mental fatigue.
Hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention are more common in male dogs and young puppies, researchers say. The findings correspond to age and gender associated with ADHD in humans.
New findings reinforce the idea that dementia with Lewy bodies can be pathologically classified as two different and distinct disease types.
15 protein biomarkers have been identified as being linked to late-onset dementias. The biomarkers can predict cognitive decline and risk for dementia up to 20 years before the onset of symptoms.
Learning a new language can affect musical processing in children, researchers report. Findings support the theory that musical and linguistic functions are closely linked in the developing brain.
