Abstract: Mental illness: geneticists versus neurocientists A News Feature in the 10 July issue reported on differences between geneticists and neuroscientists concerning the interpretation of the genetics of mental illness (The brains of the family, Nature 454, 154–157; 2008). But are both groups overlooking significant factors more directly relevant to human suffering? The Correspondence columns this week broaden the debate to consider environmental factors, which have been linked to conditions such as schizophrenia, and to ask whether textbook definitions of psychiatric disorders are merely arbitrary checklists.
