The gene that is responsible for the human inclination to suicide, researchers were able to identify from United States . Through such a study experts were able to develop a special test, the results of which will clearly indicate, there will take in the future, people attempt to commit suicide.

Specialists from University of Baltimore   in the research process noticed that in the absence of normal operation gene SKA2   a person has suicidal intentions. This gene determines how prefrontal cortex And provides control impulsive behavior and does not tolerate manifestations of negative thinking. When the state of the gene in the body increases levels of the hormone Cortisol . Meanwhile, during the previous research, scientists were able to learn that suicide in the body have very high levels of cortisol.

Taking the information obtained in the course of research, the scientists were able to develop a special blood test by which you can up to 90%   to determine whether the patient is able to take his own life on their own. At the same time find out if human life attempted suicide before, this analysis allows us to within   96% . Doctors say that the use of such a development will allow to protect people with a high propensity to suicide by drugs and other means by which to take his own life. Also, a laboratory study will make it possible to determine whether the person is dangerous to assign certain drugs for the treatment. Doctors offer to carry out such tests to the soldiers who are going to fight in the hot spots. It is advisable to determine the level of propensity to commit suicide as those who are returning from such places.

Meanwhile, neuroscientists from the Great Britain   We managed to find a small area in the brain that is responsible for warning the person about the dangers and unpleasant feelings.
