Scientists Uncover a Possible Biological Explanation for SIDS
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Researchers have found a possible biological cause for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the leading cause of death among infants aged one month to 12 months. Researchers found that SIDS babies have an abnormality that affects the brain stem's ability to regulate serotonin, which helps control vital reflexes like breathing. The findings offer hope that at-risk babies could be identified and treated before tragedy strikes.
