http://www.scientificamerican.com/article....-throat-to-mind

 

Is the one you mentioned a 2nd article?

[thereishope]

Here's a link to the PDF of the entire issue. The top of the

first page has a headline stating what page the article starts on. It is different than the Throat to Mind one.

I finally got a chance to read the article. Thanks for sharing it. It was good! Do you have a link directly to the article to make it easier to share?

For those who cannot get the article, overall it explains how when a fetus is exposed prenatally to certain infections , it greatly increase the chance of a mental disoder surfacing. It states that even when a mother receives a vaccination while pregnant (like the flu vaccine), it may increase the chances of such things as schizophenia occurring. There is a brief blurb about PANDAS, but not much. It does break down different disorders and infections that are linked to them. It does also explain what microbes can cause disorders to surface postnatal as well.
