Abuse changes brains of suicide victims
Health & Fitness – Suicide victims who were abused as children have clear genetic changes in their brains, Canadian researchers reported on Tuesday in a finding they said shows neglect can cause biological effects.
The genes themselves do not change, their attributes are fixed from conception. What changes is the way they operate. The article compares it to an "on-off switch."
There is obviously a relationship between the physical self and the psychological self. What we have not understood is the mechanism through which one affects the other. This article suggests that researchers are close to solving that riddle.

Labs rats, BronxBombers--it's really just six of one and a half-dozen of the other.
No, I'd say it's more like 12 altogether...
