Denne undersøkelsen er riktignok liten og må nok videre utforskes om det er slik at den skal bli holdbar, antar jeg. Men det er nå uansett sikkert en stor lettelse for foreldre som har mistet barn i krybbedød om de nå kan få en årsak.

Sitat:

The brain stem abnormalities involve an imbalance in the way the brain uses the neurotransmitter serotonin. The brain chemical plays a role in regulating mood and is the target for many depression-fighting drugs. But it also influences breathing, body temperature and arousal from sleep.
These functions are thought to go haywire when susceptible babies are exposed to certain risks, such as sleeping on their bellies, which is a leading contributor to SIDS.
The researchers studied autopsied brain tissue from 31 SIDS babies and 10 infants who died of other causes. SIDS babies had about double the number of nerve cells displaying serotonin defects.
