SIDS Info (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)

I have always wondered what caused perfectly healthy babies to die, in (sudden infant syndrome). Now it looks looks like science is closing in on the cause. SIDS, seems to be related to abnormal levels of Serotonin in the brain. Below are links to the latest research into this terrible medical problem.
