Researchers have identified six regions of the human genome that are significantly linked to personality traits, and some show significant correlations to certain psychiatric disorders as well. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, is based on a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies. The results are published in the journal Nature Genetics.

Despite how often it's repeated, doctors haven't been able to definitively tell you that a positive attitude will help you live longer, mainly because most studies on the subject haven't followed people over long enough periods of time. So researchers decided to look at a long-term study to track how people's outlook over time affected their longevity. In a report published in BMJ, they studied nearly 10,000 men and women in the English Longitudinal Study of Aging between 2002 and 2013.

New preclinical evidence was put forward by investigators in a series of presentations at the recent meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology suggest that the a metabolite of ketamine can produce antidepressant-like effects in a mouse model of depression. The metabolite is produced when ketamine is broken down in the body. This finding may lead to further research to better understand ketamine's efficacy in depression and its potential side effects.
