Babies Can Sense a ‘Good’ Person From a ‘Bad’ One, Long Before They Can Speak.
Most parents have seen it: your baby relaxes in the arms of one person but stiffens around another. It feels instinctive, almost like your baby can read people before they can speak.

Hepatitis C Virus Found in Brain Lining Could Explain Links to Mental Health Disorders
For decades, psychiatry has wrestled with an unsolved riddle: why do some individuals develop devastating mental health disorders such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, while others with seemingly similar backgrounds do not? Genetics play a role, yes. Environment leaves its fingerprints, certainly. But across the history of medicine, one intriguing thread has never fully unraveled…
Can Intuition Really Glimpse the Future? Science, Stories, and the Ongoing Debate
