New research out in @NatureComms, funded by @NIHRMaudsleyBRC & @NIH, has found that #DNA sequences which originate from ancient viral infections contribute to susceptibility for psychiatric disorders like #schizophrenia, #bipolar disorder & #depression.

@powell_tim_r, @TheNixonLab and myself wrote a piece for the @ConversationUK to explain what our research on human endogenous retroviruses mean for Psychiatry (and also what it DOESN'T mean!) We hope you enjoy it! theconversation.com/depressiā¦
