New research from the University of Basel in Switzerland suggests that those who have a genetic predisposition to form stronger memories may be at an increased risk of post-traumatic stress disorder. Led by neuroscientist Dominique de Quervain, MD, the investigators looked at how genetic differences [...]]]></description>
