Abstract

Suicide is a major cause of death in the young. The search for biological factors is being developed in order to evidence possible predictive indices for a risk to attempt suicide and develop pharmacologic research. The availability of such indices would be instrumental when investigating the causes of violent deaths. The results of a study performed by our group on the benzodiazepine receptors controlling anxiety and impulsive behaviour are presented together with the results concerning the distribution of TRH levels in both hemispheres in thalamus and hypothalamus.
