A Cure For the Common Schizophrenia?

A bio-research team, led by professor Cedric Feschotte,at the University of Texas, has found traces of virus DNA in the hamn genes associated with schizophrenia and other mental and/or mood disorders.

So; does this mean that there might be a vacine for mood disorders someday? That would be wonderful. (Unless you're the maker of mood-fixing pills, of course. LOL)

Feschotte says, according to news in the research journal Nature, that he examined a class of viruses called bornaviruses that have been ignored by other researchers because it doesn't normally infect primates. His research found far more of this viral DNA in our genome than previous studies. The virus type, called bornaviruses, typically infects hoofed mammals and birds, but, Feschotte's research suggests that it got into primates sometime in the distant past. What he found are fragments that are now permanently part of the human genome.

These bornaviruses have been connected to schizophrenia and othe mental disorders in humans, though the actual nature of the connection isn't fully understood. And so it follows, of course, that there is much to examine and test and argue about Feschotte's new findings, but there's enough known to make imaginations fire up with all sorts of ideas.

Like suppose if depression could be treated like the flu and be subject to vacines? How swell would that be?  A preventative shot for schizophrenia? Wow.
